Tuesday 19th May Well we did 16.05 miles today !!!!!
18th May
Monday 18th May This morning we caught a bus to Poole, walked down to the quay and took the ferry to Brownsea Island. A windy 20 minute crossing to this little NT island where we should have seen red squirrels. Although we did see evidence of their feeding activity, they were nowhere to be seen. We walked every path on this little island and saw baby rabbits, young fluffy goslings and lots of wetland birds! There were magnificent views over Poole Harbour and the forest walks were very tranquil, the whole experience was very uplifting. An amazing treasure of a place well worth a visit. Just 8 miles walked today, 2 bus rides and 2 ferry trips! Share
Sunday 17th May
Sunday 17th May A lovely coastal walk today, cloudy, some sun but no rain. We walked from Bournemouth to Swanage, taking the 4 minute ferry crossing from Sandbanks to Studland.- we walked 10.64 miles. We did take the bus back which also came back on the ferry!!!
16th May
Saturday 16th May Today we had a short walk on our arrival in Bournemouth. Light rain but it didn’t keep us in - we did 3miles taking in the pier the East Cliffs and the Gardens. Just to mention as well that the £250 we paid into our giving page was done over the phone, when we explained that it was cash donations from those who signed our sponsor form, which we will post off to Parkinson UK’s head office at the end of May. We asked that it was listed as such. I have now emailed and ask if they can clarify that. Thanks to everyone for all your generous donations- now up to £888 - we will have to keep walking!!!!!

8th May
Friday 8th May 8th May - managed to squeeze a little walk in today between jobs! Only just over 2 miles …. Although maybe a little further because I forgot to set my watch as we started so I missed a bit! (Spent too long on the Garden Centre!) Lovely walk though with views looking back towards Rishton Res with the canal. Share
Day 6
Wednesday 6th May Busy gardening this morning! Stayed local again and took a walk up to Cut Wood Park - just over 3 miles walked. Every little counts! Share
Day 5
Tuesday 5th May A busy day - had a dash around Rishton with messages, things to post and collect and jobs to do. Does that count …. I did do 3 miles! Share
Day4
Monday 4th May Parked in Feniscowles - set off through a wooded area and then along the canal. We did have a bit of road walking but arrived in Withnell at Paul and Joanne’s for a cuppa and a chat with them and Katie. Different route back to the car involved a bit of a scramble through the blue bells! 7.52 miles walked today. Share
Day 3
Sunday 3rd May Decided to have a local walk up to Sarah and John’s house after church today. Along the canal and over Stanhill returning via Knuzden and Whitebirk - we like round trips. 9.24 miles! We did have refreshments and rest half way round today! 😊 Share
Day 2
Saturday 2nd May Dropped Élodie off at gymnastics. In Preston at 9.30am and our youngest Grandchild Gabrielle (aged 10) joined us in our walk today. We walked through town, by the river, the marina and through the parks. Interesting and Gabrielle kept us going! 8 miles covered! Share
