September walking

The weather has not been very good lately. However we have managed some walking, chiefly around Dulverton. Steep hills, streams, wooded tracks. Very like the Camino. We even found a granary (hórreo) when we visited Arlington Court
We are aiming to walk 7-10kms on an average walk with one 15km per week for the next few weeks. This is really to keep us fit and then we'll build up the distance again in the New Year. We are carrying 2/3 of the Camino weight in our rucksacs, again with the idea of building up to full weight later on.
