And then home for tea, crumpets and The Times. Divine.
'Sole Mates' is Chris, Dan, Deborah and Simon. We're a team taking part in Trailwalker 2011, an event raising money for Oxfam and the Gurkha Welfare Trust. Trailwalker is 100km over the South Downs in 30 hours - that's 62 miles, or the equivalent of two and a half marathons and up and down Ben Nevis and Snowdon, all in one go. We'll blog about our training, our blisters, our fundraising and, of course, the event itself. Please support us: http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/team/SoleMates

Walking back to Nuffield
Another early start this morning. I came down to Nuffield last night for a weekend of relaxation chez parents; Mum and I decided that we'd do a Saturday walk. So this morning, Dad dropped us at Christmas Common, and we meandered back. It was probably around 9 miles, and we encountered lots of challenging Chilterns hills, as well as red kites, robins, and the first of the bluebells. We lunched just outside Maidensgrove (having walked through Pishill, a village which still elicits the odd chuckle), and spent time walking though the Stonor Estate and along both the Oxfordshire Way and the Ridgeway. Lots of wonderful daffodils and magnolia trees.
