PW2010 – Planning Update #6
Barring a disaster, that’s it, I’m done. It’s all booked, deposit cheques are in the post and all I need to do now is get fit enough to walk it 🙂 The total price of 17 nights accommodation finally came in at £556.95 (the 95p being the only non-full pound payment, to Once Brewed Hostel […]
PW2010 – Planning Update #5
I have most of my accommodation booked now, all but four locations in fact. These have been emailed but have not yet responded, so I’ll give them a couple of days more and then phone them. I would hate to miss out on a place now that so many others are pencilled in and waiting […]
PW2010 – Planning Update #4
For anyone still bothering to read my witterings on this subject I have good news (I think!). Although I couldn’t get into Keld Lodge, I have found room in Butt House for the 12th May, which means I can keep my original start date of the 5th May and I don’t have to cancel any […]

OMG! PW2010 Initial Planning Fright

Long Distance Path 2010
Until just a few days ago I had no idea where I was going to walk next year – normally by this time of the year I know what I’m going to be doing and I’ve even started planning it and booking it. This year I’ve been busy doing other things in what would normally […]
