So we came third in the pub quiz, not too shabby an effort really.  We've also been out on a little training walk since ... 22 miles of your finest Wiltshire countryside.  We set off at 6am, which meant two hours walking in the dark and a couple of twists (we won't say wrong turns) to our route.  Actually, we're not sure what route we took, it just evolved.  We suspect it looked like a number 8.

We were all finished by 2pm, with a few aches and pains but no major injuries!

I saw that a former work colleague was planning to walk Hadrian’s Wall for charity and thought it would make a good training walk for Patagonia.  So that’s how I came to be planning to walk 84 miles coast to coast across northern England with 3 strange blokes.

It's been all talking, a couple of pints, and no walking so far, but we're beginning to form a bit of a plan.  In as much as we know we're going to attempt Hadrian's Wall in April over 3 or 4 days and we ought to do a bit of training soon.

So, just to be on the safe side, we're having another planning session in the pub this Sunday.  There's a little bit of Pub Quiz action going on, but we can multi-task, and it'll be good for team bonding!

We'll let you know what we decide ...
