owww my legs


are really hurting after a really big walk on the weekend. We signed up for an adventure bush walk with friends. It was a 2 hour walk in which we were meant to circumnavigate the earth - sorry I meant a reservoir. About an hour into the walk we discovered that we were not going to make it before dark so we went back from whence we came - well not exactly the same way. These are the shoes of my sister and I enjoying some delightful cupcakes, after we had had delicious minestrone soup , and some yummy wine. Apparently we walked 8000 steps and also burnt 988 calories - during the walk. Exciting hey. I'm not sure that everyone in the walking group knew that I am scared of walking down gravelly, rocky things - I don't mind walking up - but I just have this fear that on the way down my feet will fall out from under me and the next thing you know I am at the bottom - in a heap. Not good. But all in all it was SUPER FUN, and something I would do again- as long as I have my gandalf the great walking stick

I think tht most people are a bit scared walking down steep gravely inclines...if you recall, I think it was ME that actually DID slip over.
I am concerned that both of your shoes got grubby which is not a good thing at the gym. Did they scrub up ok ?
It's over to you to choose the next WALKING TREK...what do you have in mind ?
