retiring

When I retired I foolishly announced that I intended to walk from John O Groats to Lands End (JOGLE), by posting to this blog I reckon I will be too embarrassed to pull out. So here goes.

Already I've decided that its to be North Tto South, simply because I fancy a holiday in Cornwall when I finish.
I will be walking on roads and towpaths, not on the national footpaths. I'm not a good walker and can honestly trip over a matchstick, at least if I am on a road when I fall I should get rescued easily.
NO CAMPING for me, my days of doing that are long gone.
I will keep the costs down by using hostels and guest houses and Ive already lined up friends and family around the country for free stopovers.
