Day 1 & 2 - CORNWALL

We are Penny and Colin Green. In 2022 we have decided to do a Virtual walk from Lands End to John O Groats. Not sure how long this will take but here goes. We will develop this Blog as we go. We weren't too sure how far we could go as Colin still has some symptoms of COVID he suffered over Christmas, but we have now both tested negative.

Unfortunately we both had to use a walking stick, Colin still suffering with sore knees and I managed to twist my knee on Christmas Day slipping off the bottom 2 stairs - (before a drink!!!). 

1,647.98 miles, coastal walk. 874 miles quickest route.

First time out since the 23rd December 2021. We took it slowly  - at first we were going to get to the end of the lane and come back, but we managed to walk all the way round. We bumped into an old neighbour whose husband is quite ill after having another stroke. 

Completed 2.9 miles.

Tuesday 11th January 2022:

Our niece Gina's 32nd Birthday. Today we decided to tackle the Tan Yard. Stopping off at base camp 1 for a quick chat with Colin's brother Arthur. Getting to the top of Chaigley Road doesn't half take the wind out of your sails!

The view across the reservoirs today was stunning - did a quick video and snapshot.

After walking halfway down the Tan Yard we went through the new housing development called Tootle Green, wow such a lot of houses. As we got onto Dilworth Lane and noticing another house being built on someone's garden we saw cousin Alan on his electric bike so we stopped for a bit of a catch up. 

We cut through Croft Way and Pasture Grove onto Lower Lane and along to St Lawrence Church. Then onto Chapel Hill and into Little Lane, crossing over Kestor Lane to the park known as the wreck. Felt sure this was longer than yesterday.

Completed 2.9 miles. Total 5.8 miles.
