Fire Fantastic! Well done Helen - I was pleased to see that finally fire was involved (although a bit of petrol would have helped). I am not sure why there have not been more camp fires.....but I suppose that means camping......which doesn't really fit with the "Champagne Helen" image!

Light at the end of the tunnell!! Hi Helen
Blimey I can't believe you are nearly there. Couldn't you have taken the National Express? Times must be hard for champagne Helen after all that high living. Keep going till the end and look forward to seeing you at Duncan's Blessing.

I see you kept the best to last - Runcorn! Hi Helen,
Keep with it, you are doing great! Nice to see some familar names in the blog, Frodsham, Runcorn.
If you have time when you get over the Runcorn Bridge turn left and go to the Runcorn Catalyst Museum. Dispite the less than promising sounding name, it's very good, and there is a big tower that you can go up, it might just give you your first view of your destination!

Well Done Duncan! Duncan correctly got the Honey Spare Ribs Question correct! In fact far more accurately than the restaurant had translated it I think. He wins a pair of my used inner soles! Only joking - I'll buy you a beer!

Was it nice?
Spare half hour on the internet? Sounds like me. Celia Fiennes (1662 - 1741) was born at Newton Toney, near Salisbury, into a Puritan, anti-monarchist family. She travelled extensively throughout England and Scotland, on horseback and by coach, staying at inns or with relatives, and recorded vivid descriptions of her journeys. These journeys, supposedly for her health, were mostly undertaken between 1685 and 1703; during her ‘Great Journey’ of 1698 she travelled over 1,000 miles. Her travel diaries were published in 1888 under the title ‘Through England on a Side Saddle in the time of William and Mary’, and in them she comments on towns, roads, inns, religious practices and particularly on local trade and industry. She admitted that her journeys were inspired by curiosity.
A fine achievement, withot doubt. Can't help feeling the horse should have got the monument though.
Well done Helen, you've done an amazing thing and having seen your feet first hand during the blister phase makes it all the more inspiring!!
Celia Fiennes was born in Salisbury in 1662. Celia's father was a Colonel in the Parliamentary army during the English Civil War. From 1685 until 1703 Celia travelled extensively around England. Apart from two servants, Celia travelled alone. On her journey Celia kept notes in her journal about the places she visited and provided the first comprehensive survey of the country since William Camden's
Celia Fiennes died in 1741. Celia's journal was discovered in 1885 and published three years later under the title, Through England on a Side Saddle.
Nearly Home
All the best from IKAR
Breakfast Well done - I would struggle to do 4 miles after a cooked breakfast!
And yes, they are willing to pay a lot of money for KPIs - if it ticks their box it's OK with me.
have you melted? All I'd like to say is that if the heat affects you a lot, I bet you were pretty pissed off today! Keep going though, bids for your 'near death story' from Take a Break are up to £50. Txxx
Great effort Helen. I'm very impressed and good to see the knees are holding up. Just think it was only a year or so ago and you would winge about walking 100 metres downhill to the Red Lion (or was that just because you wanted to knock back honey bunnies with Emily in Barnies?) Look forward to celebrating the completion of the walk in the not too distant future! P.S David and I found a house in Redbourn!
Keep on going! Do lifebuoy's work in sinking sand? Would be intereted if you could find out for us? Must be great walking in this weather! Hot enough for you?
Life has not been the same without the Blog Hi Helen,
Glad you are back, your 'real life' experiance brings some sanity to the stupid life of a 'consultant' working away from home all week. It makes me focus on why I'm doing it. No Mortage and freedom!
Keep it going, but maybe July and August were not the best months to go for a long walk home, it hot just sat at home!
See you soon
