Returning to the scene …

… so clearly I would flunk Criminal Class 101. The very good friends who took in a beaten man just under a year ago are kindly putting me up again and dropping me off tomorrow for The Big Push Part Deux. Andy and Mary being of northern persuasion have briefed me on what to expect : given that I’ll be going across various moors tomorrow, that An American Werewolf in London is on the box this week (really) and that there will be a ‘pink moon’ I might be coming over all lycanthropic, as you do.

anyway, training walks have been done (over to Newbury, finishing off the SWCP (some good bumpy bits – the same amount of down as up but why does it never feel that way), Cinque Terre in Italy) and heart at least is in fine fettle. Thank you so much to the 40 or so good luck messages overnight/today – much appreciated. Nothing personal but I hope not to see any of you for a month or so ? .

Best foot forward (so that’ll be the right) and stroll on
