We used a free leaflet to guide us on a walking tour pointing out historical places of interest in King’s Lynn. The tour took us to St Nicholas’ church which was currently housing an art exhibition. One of the church guides told us we should not miss going to see the nearby exorcists house which [...]

When I Went Down To the Woods Today
I didn’t find a Teddy Bear’s Picnic but despite that it ‘was’ rather noisy. There was music blaring out along the Silkin Way, a ride on mower in the hospital grounds, parents and children having having conversations at the top of their voices and the sound of bagpipes.
When I arrived at Apley Pool I was [...]

Windsor – The Long Walk

Over the month I walked 346,227 steps (139.51 miles).

The Mines of Moria
I entered the Mines of Moria through Durin’s door. I then navigated my way through the mines meeting hazards along the way, to face one last hurdle where to my dismay a wizard went over the edge at Durin’s Bridge. Once on the other side of the bridge I was able to claim my medal.
