19 miles

Oh my! I knew it was going to be hard as I haven't done much training, and it was! The steep down hills killed my knees at the end, but what a stunning walk it was. 10 of us set of from Hope in the Derbyshire Peak District and walked in a loop for 19 miles until we were back at the The Cheshire Cheese Inn where we set off. After walking so far the pint of beer went down so quickly and tasted so good! We are in training for the Louise Smalley Challenge Walk on the 24th of June which is 41 miles from Lady Bower Reservoir to Whitwell.  It is going to hurt, but I'm sure I'll do it.
