Walking plans

When I first started this blog it was because I was bored and I saw one my niece had started.

"If she can do it, so can I", I thought.

"Mmm, I guess you need to have something to write about though. 

Well I'm trying to get fit enough to walk the 'Rail Trail' with my sister, that'll do. 

No matter if no-one is interested, it'll keep me on track."

Ha! Famous last words!!

I was very good - for about a year,

 then sis didn't arrive over from Aussie when expected.

Disappointment and then discouragement.

But suddenly, out of the blue, she's got it all planned!

All I have to do is lose about a stone in weight, 

get fit, and comply with the plan!

Thank goodness we don't have a date yet 

and it isn't happening till next year, 

so I have some time. 

I hope.

I think I might be doing the bookings too, but we'll see.

So today I went out walking. 

Along the Silverstream. 

ducks on the bank 

It is the boundary between the urban and the rural areas.

So I walked the footpaths first because I had letters to post.

(Not everyone has computers and 

it's quite nice to write with a pen and pad occasionally).

Then I got myself through the gate and onto the banks.

Lovely, not many people although it was such a lovely day.

It's hard to believe this is winter.

It has been very mild so far, 

apart from the odd snow fall, and flood etc.

Tomorrow I will go out again and continue along the path,

under the bridge, up the other side...

...and along the bank to the bridge further down. 

I haven't been far down this side before so it will be interesting.

The aerodrome is over that way as well as more farmland.

I might go to the gym too, 

they have a special for old people like me, haha,

and some of my friends already go.

Anyway that is the plan so far.

Oh, by the way, did I say I haven't been out walking since Easter?

And the Rail Trail is 150 kilometres or 93.3 miles long. Hmm.

Have a great week folks.
