Slightly different walk, on theses two days. The same walk, local to home, done twice but for a double purpose.
First reason was that my boots purchased last August, which had served me well on my long distance paths and throughout the winter had developed a problem with some of the stitching. It had actually broken and consequently they were not as waterproof as they should be and the problem would have become worse. Luckily Mountain Warehouse were happy to exchange, even though I had to wait five or six days for delivery. My next dilemma then was could I wear them to do a mountain walk on the Friday of this particular week. My solution was to do a walk from the house and see how they felt, I decided I needed to do it at least twice, which I successfully did.
A quick 5..59 km which measured 5.65 the second time! My second challenge was to try and walk at a faster speed. In June I have a major walking challenge and so I’m trying to improve my capability to walk a bit faster not only on the flat but also up hill. I tried to spot some interesting things on this quick walk but didn’t want to hesitate too much for photos – but there is always something new or different to observe.
On the Monday an abundance of buttercups caught my eye. And the sky!
Both were early evening walks, fitted in around intense furniture moving and carpet and laminate being laid! 
I was pleased that I managed to get quicker on the second walk. So walk 1 took 1 hour and 49 seconds and walk 2, took – 58 minutes and 46 seconds. So average time taken per kilometre was 10 min 52 sec – improving to 10 min 24 sec.
Further more the boots were comfortable and I was able to use them on Walk number 121!
