Day...Michael is going well after his first 3 days. Day 1 saw good weather for the leg from Farnham Railway station (from where he was waved off by Maddie) to Shere, and Michael walked his grandfather Pim off his legs. Day 2 was a more arduous affair as the weather turned distinctly inclement and Michael had to contend with the sharp climbs up Boxhill and Colley's Hill; but Michael still set a searing pace which reduced the conversation amongst the accompanying cohort of two uncles, Michael's 11 year-old brother and 9 year-old cousin, a part-time soldier and a labrador and short-haired pointer. At Merstham we bumped into a group of 4 walkers who had been "yo-yoing" past Michael for the previous two days and were so impressed by his efforts that they threw £20 into the hat. Good weather returned on Day 3, enabling Michael to hold off the challenge from his ex-Royal Marine father and godfather. Pim returns for Days 4 and 5 - let's hope that the bad weather does not.Davidnoreply@blogger.com
