1st March 2007: I set off alone to walk from Land's End to John O'Groats; a LEJOG of 1,687 miles, taking me four months. I walked in memory of my father, Jeff Sloman, and raised over £6,000 for Sue Ryder Care. I posted to the blog every day of the walk. This blog lets you know how it all went and what I have been up to subsequently.
Thanks for dropping in. Please feel free to make comments.
Fantastic contrasts of light, Alan. I havent walked / run in the Yorkshire Dales for about 18 months or two years now. You really have made me want to visit again - soon!
In picture 1. Is that somebody with their head stuck in the wall? also I daren't ask what the big smiles are for, so i won't. Nice pics Al - good light and clouds.
Thanks for the kind comments - they are only snaps taken with an old digital compact.
Old Gregorlach & Shamus: You are right - the Yorkshire Dales are very special - I came to them only recently (on my Lejog, really) but they are wonderful as they are beautifully spaced with wonderful views and lovely rock architecture.
The Dales were my first love, (after Suffolk...) as we spent every holiday there for seven years. Loved it, it's a beautiful, atmospheric place, trapped in some kind of timewarp. Then, I moved to Scotland.
lovely open country and light...
ReplyDeleteVery nice Alan.
ReplyDeleteSome of my favourite country having enjoyed hundreds of happy hours walking over it, crawling under it and running round it.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos - beats looking out of the window at the moment - horizontal sleet not my thing!

There is an awful lot of sky there too.

ReplyDeleteIs that a "Then I moved to Scotland - bugger!" or a
"and THEN.. I moved to Scotland! (Wowee!)" Hope for your sake it's the latter...
