Today was a test of whether my foot had recovered from it's stress fracture. It was beginning to feel better and so I decided it was time to give it a "test run" with the Ramblers on a 5 mile walk along the river Exe estuary. Despite my fears of breaking down and having to be helped back, these were unfounded and I felt fine. I will now gradually build up my walking distances again and cycle whenever possible so that I am fit again for my walk from Land's End in September. I had forgot how much I had missed being out in the countryside ( and the lunch afterwards)
