Thanks for the welcome Tracey and Al!
This is indeed a friendly place as I have already found when I asked for advice relating to the Lyke Wake Walk - lots of helpful responses
Al, not sure whether that was a typo or not, but this certainly is a
good place, and I certainly could be called a
goof by many so I think I'll fit right in
I'm pleased to say that we completed the Lyke Wake Walk on Saturday - absolutely destroyed by the end of it and vowed to never use my feet for anything ever again, but after a day getting over the pain I'm right back up to the level of enthusiasm I had before starting the walk - even more enthusiastic now perhaps
Long may there be more hikes!
