We managed a family walk early afternoon before the main meal, down to the local beach and back; 1.5 miles
And as the moon rose, I managed to stagger a couple of miles with the dog. Total for the day - a modest 3.5 miles.
Best Christmas walk was when I was a bachelor boy living in the Conwy Valley - I was on my own and rather than just do the 'stagger down to the pub' thing I decided to make a day of it in the mountains. Set off at first light, up the road to Llyn Cowlyd, then over to Cwm Eigiau, then up a snow clad Carnedd Llewellyn before retracing my steps and cooking my Christmas Dinner on a cheapo meths stove in the shelter of the old Eigiau quarry buildings - Marks and Spencers extra hot chicken curry, washed down by Carlsberg Special Brew!
Returned all the way down the Land Rover track and minor road from Cwm Eigiau in the gathering darkness, and had a long plod along the 'B' road from Tal-y-Bont to Trefriw - not much Christmas spirit shown towards a lone hitchhiker!
A magnificent day that sticks in my memory.
Anyone else out yesterday?
