What a change. Yesterday bright sunshine but this morning it was cold and overcast with a strong headwind and squally showers - winter is definitely back worse luck!!!
I left from the Town Hall in Southport but before I had gone very far I had to stop and put a jacket on as it was really cold and starting to rain.
By the time I got to Churchtown there was the first of several really heavy showers with the wind gusting and making walking much harder. Once I was out in the open countryside with very little to shelter you from the wind I was really having to put my head down and plough into it.
Met Peter at lunchtime at Dunscar, he looked at the plants while I checked out the Musto, well I wasn't going to loose an opportunity was I,and then after a quick snack I carried on up the A59 towards Longton.
After lunch the wind dropped a little and the sun came out so it was a lot more pleasant. Met Emma as arranged at Willow Farm and then back home for a soak. I have now walked the first twenty eight miles, so more than I had originally planned to do but the forecast for tomorrow is not good. Feet holding up well so far. More tomorrow.
