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

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.
