Back to my 'home' #UKCanals today, the Basingstoke Canal. My last big training walk before the #LDWA100 Flower of Suffolk.

I was dropped off (no trains today :() in West Byfleet, close to where the canal joins the River Wey. Another day, another shark.

So many chicks out. 🐤

A vaguely incoherent thread about the marvel that was the #LDWA100 Flower of Suffolk this weekend. My first attempt at a 100 miler.

Firstly, a massive thank you to all the organisers and volunteers for putting this on for 500 or so hopefuls. A gargantuan task undertaken with skill and kindness.

Oh goodness, I got a place on the #LDWA100 next May. I've never walked/ran a hundred miles before.

I'll be setting up a fundraiser for the #BasingstokeCanal Our waterways are in desperate need of support. Where better to start than my local waterway where my love of long distance walking began.

Attempting to understand the route instructions for the #LDWA100 Flower of Suffolk while my cat distracts me.

I keep ending up in wildly the wrong place on the map. Maybe it will be easier in person.

How could we turn down the offer of a lift today for my last big walk before the #LDWA100?

To Cirencester! There lies a large roman amphitheatre and a convenient path. Also flipping giant stiles.

The mist became rain. I learned my waterproof jacket is yet again not.

Slightly afeared of meeting the Black Shuck when doing the overnight(s) part of the LDWA100 around Suffolk in May. Add in aliens in Rendlesham, how many will survive the nights? 😁
