We did it! We completed our first 'retirement' walk, The Ridgeway, west to east, Overton Hill to Ivinghoe Beacon in a sensible 8 days. Was it a walk or was it an excuse for a pub-crawl? 2 days were 15 miles and the rest ranged from 10-12 miles. Every day we walked and carried a full 10kgs rucksack each. No breaks or doing it in sections. Only the 'home' day was not a pub-stopover, so pretty tough!
Find out all about it and read the whole story from getting there by bus and getting home with a family lift. The people we met on the way, the pubs, accommodation, good and not so good. We have plenty of pictures and day by day account of our walk all on our new web-site: www.walkingoverthehill.co.uk
