Welcome to my walking diary...

If your reading this you may have found my blog from my webpages or from a walking forum. First of all I have to thank Stuart of walkingplaces.co.uk for maintaining my webpages - without him there wouldn't have been a ramblingpete.

I decided to start keeping a diary, to give me something to look back upon in the years to come and hopefully this will jog my walking memories into life when I'm in my decrepitude....which is fast approaching. This diary is now superceeded by the following...

Look at my rings

Blimey another month has ticked by since my last post. Hopefully spring is now on the way and we have seen the worse of the winter now. The snow was fun, but very tiring to walk through, and now it's the turn of boggy ground to sap the energy. I had a successful Cheltenham week and came away with money from Will Hills - always nice to be up. I was a bit unlucky as well, and had a series of second places, but the starting prices were high so I got decent payouts anyway. But it stopped me walking for the first week of my time off, so I 'll make up for it in the next week or two. I had a little walk up near Wooler to look for some Neolithic rock art - thought to be around 5000 yrs old. It does give you a special feeling when you first set eyes upon the rock art - real history.

I've persevered with my Slimming World diet and have now shed all the weight I put on over the festivities and some more to boot. My target is now in reach and I have to loose around 7lbs more to get to my racing weight..watch this diminishing space...
