The well at Nablus is finished.

It's felt like a long while coming, but today I saw a post on Facebook from the Diocese of Leicester that advised that the well at Nablus has now been reopened and refurbished thanks in part to all the kind people who sponsored me on this challenge. I have shared the...

I know my challenge Walking for Nablus is over,  but today I walked for Nablus again but this time with a group from Witherley. We set out from Witherley Parish Rooms at 10am and walked local footpaths from Witherley towards Ratcliffe Culey back around to Atterton...

So Lent is over and with it my Walking for Nablus challenge. Since the beginning of Lent I have walked 351,693 steps which equates to 166.5 miles and averages out at 7483 steps per day.  There were only 4 days when I failed to reach 5,000 steps.  8 days when I passed...

This morning my hubby encouraged me to walk with him on a route of his choice.  By the time we came back we'd walked 4 and 1/2 miles and it equated to 8,700 steps. As we were returning through Bramcote Hills Park we spoke with a fireman who had attended an incident...

Friday 18th April – Good Friday

Today is Good Friday which means there are only two more days in my self imposed challenge.  I can't decide if I'm happy or sad about that but I'm certainly proud of how generous and encouraging my supporters have been.  It's very humbling. Last night I drove down to...

Morning folks, A quick post before I head into work after the best part of a week off, when I didn't manage as much walking as I had planned.  Sadly a sore throat and cold robbed me of energy and enthusiasm, but a day of retail therapy for my sister's birthday and...

Wednesday 9th April

Despite the sunshine and better weather and having two extra days off from work this week, I have to admit I'm finding it really tough motivating myself to get out and walk.  Having a sore throat probably isn't helping matters nor is the fact I've walked the same...

April the first.  That means I'm more than half way through my challenge and so far I have put £16.00 in my pot and for my supporters donating when I reach 7,500 or 10,000 your bill is much less...only £3.50 so far.  **Note to self:  Walk farther!**  For those...

Grrrr...Half way through this afternoon I found I wasn't wearing my pedometer.  Once I got past the panic that I'd actually lost it - following some frantic texts to my husband to look for it at home - I was left just feeling irritated that I'd even walked before work...

Monday 24th March

When I started this challenge my sister reminded me that Lent is actually longer than 40 days. Apparently this is because Sunday's are already classed as a festival day.  Yesterday I took advantage of this fact and took a day off from walking.  My entire day's step...
