A Walk for Michael – Part 6

Posted on by Nicky van der Drift

Sunday the 18th February brings to an end of week 7!

I am now only 1 week away from my first century of walks and don’t my feet know it. Once again thank you to everyone who has supported and donated, I have now raised £400 which is amazing. THANK YOU!

As of today, I have walked 165.12 miles. Here are my walks from the last 7 days:

Fairford – the River Coln

45: walk around Fairford, photo taken by the River Coln once again

the aftermath of an accident with a mossy path

 

 

 

 

For some reason my knee is fine but my back isn’t so great (that could just be getting older though!)

with my father (who I dragged out) who is also Michael’s nephew

This week has been a busy week for me personally, so I am pleased to have gotten the 7 walks in. The weather for the next week is not looking great and with less things planned, I am going to get a story/information ready for this time next week.

Until we meet again, cheerio for now.
