A few changes since the last post. Yes, I am still walking in 2017 but a little longer than first planned. I will leave England at Dover and cross the Channel into France and walk a further two weeks taking my walk to six weeks and over 600klms.

I have booked my flight to London and now working on a bed here and there. Have managed 4 nights so far.

The walking most morning continues but at a slow pace as the year winds up. I am not carrying a back pack for a few weeks until my shoulder improves - result of carrying a heavy pack in Ireland. 

The weather in Australia is starting to get hotter and will remain this way for a couple of months so any walking must be done early in the morning or late in the afternoon, I prefer very early in the day.

I have also set myself another challenge, to walk 1000 mile or 1600 klms between the two big walks. That is 1st August 2016 and 1st September 2017. So far I have walked 160klms so a way to go yet. I am only walking small distances at present but will get more serious again when the days cool a little.

                      Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone
