That’s good to know......and very reassuring for a chicken licken.
As you probably know I’ve been a member of the LDWA for several decades....joined when I broke my right wrist (badly) and had to give up competitive squash and 5 a side.
Long distance walking and back packing have been a huge part of my leisure time ever since...holidays were always either walking based in mountain areas or winter ski weeks. A 20 mile social walk, followed by a 25/30 mile Challenge walk the next day became the norm at weekends....I travelled all over the country to participate.
That stopped 10 years ago and I’ve prevaricated far too long....I can manage 8/10 slow miles with gritted teeth and strong pain killers. On a good day with low humidity. I’ve just got used to the pain...what’s put me off were stories from a neighbour whose hip replacement went horribly wrong. Twice.
