Diary Entries from 2012
11 September
4 miles
Chris has been in plaster and had a broken rib so not many walks of late. We waked half way to Dumfries and back then went to Galehouse on the Fleet and had another mile walk from the Martyr’s Stone to Wigtown Harbour.
Total...244.5 miles 2,630 metres
During the first year of Ronnie and Chris’s 500-mile challenge, they encounter a host of remarkable birds and wildlife—and Ronnie triumphantly scales her first Rhinog.
This year, Ronnie and Chris’s adventures span from the windswept shores of Anglesey to the towering arches of Ribblehead Viaduct, and onward to the rugged beauty of Cornwall.
​In 2010, Ronnie and Chris fell just shy of their 500 mile goal but their travels were anything but short on adventure! Ronnie’s fondness for trains beams through, especially on
the day she waved at three in one outing!
Ronnie and Chris didn’t quite reach their 500-mile target thanks to the arrival of a lively new puppy but their adventures still led them far and wide! Along the way, they spotted a barefooted lady, a newborn
foal, seals, and plenty more surprises.
Chris and Ronnie didn’t hit the 500-mile mark again this year. Sky’s operation meant a two week walking pause, and Chris battled a string of injuries. Still, the pair packed in plenty of adventures throughout
the year!
Chris and Ronnie went all over the place in 2013 from the Northern Pennines, to Somerset and Cornwall and lots of place in between! They achieved their 500 Mile goal during the course of the year and scaled more height than Everest!
Though Ronnie’s walking diaries have drawn to a close, what a journey they’ve captured! Her adventures spanned remarkable landscapes and storied paths.
