It was quite warm and sunny when we set off this morning at about 11am. With feet well taped and padded, I wore my pink asics from last year's Downs Ways walk. On the whole feet were ok, but my little toes were still pretty painful.
We took a different route around Strinesdale and into Lees, calling in at the co-op there for lunch supplies - pretty much the same as yesterday but with rocky road instead of brownie and coke life rather than the cherry stuff which tasted weird.
We ate lunch in the park beyond the bear and then walked through Lydgate and Grasscroft and up to Wharmton Hill where we followed the path along the wall rather than going to the aerial at the top.
We stopped for tea and Snickers bars along the Donkey Trail and had a sit down. Returned via Delph up Ship Lane and over Bishop's Park and Besom Hill. We didn't call in for crisps, which was a mistake.
