24 of us today, all pleased to get out walking after a miserable week
We have had a week of storm winds and
heavy rain
Fortunately the forecast for today was
dry and overcast, but no rain
I had planned a different walk from Lliber for today
But the valley is often very muddy and rain soaked
We have even been unable to use paths due to deep water in the past
So I changed it to this walk, which is
the least likely to be affected by the recent heavy rain.
It turned out much better, we even had a little sunshine for our banana break
It was nice to welcome Barry and Linda
back on holiday
And also two new members, Ian and Wayne
I have had plantar fascilitis, ankle
pain, for many years
It flared up again after last week’s
walk
I rested for three days and it seemed ok
But it returned as soon as I start this walk
By the end of the walk it was very painful and I was limping
I even had to let the rest of the group
go ahead towards the end of the walk
Whilst I had a rest before finishing
very slowly indeed
Fortunately they all know the way to the bar
And I suspect they would have left me
behind anyway
Last time this happened I could not
walk for three or four week
But I have not waited so long to see
make an appointment with my podiarist
I am hoping that he can sort it out much quicker this time
Temperature – 18c
Time taken – 3.5 hours
Distance – 9km
