Details. Who's counting?

I haven’t really thought about the number of miles I have walked or height I have climbed, but thought some of you may be wondering so have done a tally today.

As I was listening to the birds singing earlier it struck me that I am not concerned about details. I haven’t a clue what bird makes what sound, then I thought about trees and wild flowers. I only know the names of one or two obvious ones, like buttercups and daisies, oh and cow parsley, (I think), An Oak tree is about the only one I can be certain of as far as the trees are concerned. But it doesn’t stop me loving the sound of bird song, the scent of wild flowers and the shade of trees. All these revelations about myself come with a new found freedom, as I don’t see them as negatives anymore. Who I am isn’t determined by what I know, but rather what’s in my heart. What a good thing we are all different. Wouldn’t be much good if no one paid attention to details. Lol. Everyone of us in our own way bring something and its totally ok. I wish I had that revelation years ago but better late than never. Lol.

Back to the details. 😊 I knew I would be down on distance and height which isn’t getting me down as if need be I can take longer by adding days on at the end of the walk. Its good that I set the itinary and daily targets so I under no pressure time wise. At this point I am down by 40 miles and 7000ft. That may sound a lot but what I have done is 105 miles and ascended 25,010 feet. So I am pleased with that considering my knee has been playing up.

I am really looking forward to tomorrow. I am being joined by a few others who are involved with BCRT. Sadly some of them share in the pain of this evil disease taking a child of theirs. ☹ I have met a couple of them and spoken on the phone to another, but walking together for BCRT will be a special time for us all I’m sure.

Don’t worry folks. I do know the details of where we meeting and walking. 😊 lol.
