Today’s been one for doing some admin. I hadn’t planned it that way but that’s how it largely turned out. Some of the admin involved booking travel. The odd flight, a couple of water taxis for our forthcoming Venice trip. I also booked Tom and I onto the Coast to Coast trip.
The coast to coast is going to need some serious training but we have 4 months in which to get into shape. I still haven’t found a pair of boots. We spent two hours today in GoOutdoors. Tom found the right pair for him but my feet, being seriously mismatched. I’m going to have to drive up to Richmond in Yorkshire to get some custom fitted ones. It’s worth getting it right.
We will be arriving in St Bees for the first night’s stay on Saturday 30th April and ending up at Robin Hood’s Bay on Thursday 12th. Presumably a couple of stone lighter.
None of this admin was boring stuff. No bank stuff or anything like that so it’s not been too bad. I also bought a large plastic box in which to store our various wetsuits. Anne told me to get the biggest I could find, so I did. When she say it the size came as a bit of a surprise but hey…
At the Coop I picked up some Euros so now we are all pretty much ready to go. Oh and a “sachet” of peppercorn sauce at Hannah’s request to accompany our steaks tonight. We are killing the fatted calf as Tom is heading back to the bright lights of the City and Radio One tomorrow.
Didn’t get any of the Anne’s Vans stuff done today but what can you do eh?
You’ve read the spiel now watch the video:
