Trying my best but there's only so many hours in the day for practice walks. 25 miles! I think 12 miles will be my limit but we'll see. Shoes are comfortable and hopefully on Saturday I'll do 8 or 9 and feel better for it. Was out with Bambi tonight, who distracted me, but he's very cute and we seem to be bonding.

Two walks today, with a lot of Mandatory learning in between. This is the evening walk. I'm working on who the little bird is (it's a tricky one - and I get it wrong every year!).

Five miles practice walk at Lofthouse (The Nidderdale Way). Not a place to go if, for any reason, you're not a big fan of Sheep. They've taken over!
