The big weekend of training is upon us. Today we walked from the north end of Rudyard Reservoir down to Rocester, a distance of 24 miles. The weather started dry but we were soon practising putting on (and taking off) waterproofs as the fickle English weather swapped between rain and sunshine during the morning.
We were joined by Mizzy and her new dog, Zac for the first part of the walk. They had kindly transported some of us from Rocester to the start of the walk. Zac was in his element, so much so that he decided to roll on his back in one of the many cow pats that crossed our path!
The walk itself was very scenic, but much more hilly than was expected. The first day of the challenge event, which includes the section walked today, plus the climb and descent of the Cloud, will be very hard.
Now all we have to do is get up tomorrow morning and walk another 24 miles, OUCH!!
