One Small Step!

Following yet more physio it was out on the beaten track (or tow path to be more precise) again.

The test was to get to Gargrave and back (to Skipton) in a) one piece and b) in reasonably good time. Thankfully I managed both - I didn't think 1 hour 20 each way (from my house some half a mile further than Aireville Park) was too bad although on the day we won't be commanding that sort of pace for the duration (it extrapolates out to 18 and a half hour pace). We would struggle with that even if training had gone perfectly!

Obviously there is still a long way to go and I continue to look with envy at the miles being racked up by my team and other teams.

Journey's start - just outside Aireville park.

Lock at Gargrave (number 30 for those that are interested).

The next lock (31) on the journey.

The next few walks will start to increase the effort without undoing all the good work done so far - should be interesting!

I'm off to watch the London Marathon now. Loads of people enduring immense physical pain all in the name of raising money for good causes. Now who could be that daft?
