Walking

Must be getting fitter, as I seemed to manage a 12 mile walk yesterday with no ill effects. Although we did stop for a refuel at the Rose and Crown in Nympsfield, which does really delicious veggy soup.

Also suffered no ill effects from drinking from a cow trough, which is more remarkable really. Although, saying that, I have an unusually hardy approach to germs, and tend to blame over-sanitisation for most modern ills.

Other things I did at the weekend were mainly sleeping and drinking. Both of which were done to satisfaction.

Nah - I meant drinking some nice wine, and some absinthe with my brother. The cow trough was just because I was teh stoopid and didn't take a drink on my walk.

I'm glad Utah sounds do-able - I walk quite slowly, but can do so for miles. But my ex was a nut who managed about 4 miles per hour over any terrain, whereas I manage about 2mph. Snacking breaks are good - you need little and often when you're on the big hikes. And I can do wonders with dried soya and stir-in sauces :)

I'll look forward to hearing about the tickets soon!

Looks like I'll have to step up my exercise schedule, depending on what you two had in mind for Utah. My own fault for not being on LJ much, I know. :) But if you're still interested, let me know the when and where around the last week of June!

Definitely interested - I was just dithering around waiting for [profile] zleetle to get her tickets, which would then galvanise me into getting my act together to email you.

I think we were aiming to go to Zion for the first weekend, and do some short hikes. And don't worry - I walk for miles, but only at the speed of a tomato coloured snail.

I'll mail you in the next day or so :)
