A few weeks back Steve and I joined the Bristol Ramblers walking club to train for the 40 mile keswick2barrow in May. Today, I went out on my own with the Ramblers and did a 6.5mile walk near Siston Common. After a few times around the roundabout and a few not so nice words about my GPS, I eventually found the starting point. I had a great time talking up a storm to some awesome, more experienced Bristolians! Funny enough, I met a recently retired man that used to work in the same office as Steve. (They even met once... small world!). I learned about Turkey, The Magna Carta, Squatters rights, footpath surveying, Bristol prisons, children and grandchildren. I was given some great marital advice: "If you see signs of the smallest olive branch, take it!"
All of the ramblers had one thing in common- making fun of my footwear. That is, until we came across a long mile or so of mud!
Happy Welly Wednesday & Happy March! xoxo
