It's a great day!

We've got this under wraps

A little something to keep us going

Snack on the hoof

Should be there before nightfall

Cheese and crackers never tasted so good!

Walking with memories

That's a heavy sack!

Travelling with a purpose!

A little refreshment and I feel just great

Running down the hill

On my way again

I'm well up to time -

Something's blocking my way - but I can still pose!

Bright-eyed and bushytailed after 12 miles!

Another brilliant time ...

We worked for this!

Feels like the Olympics!

We made it and here's the proof

Boots in hand ... Oh my blisters!

We're still together and we're almost home!

How DID we manage it

It feels sooo good!

We can still do a smile

We were so pleased to see this sign.

Just been for a walk in the park!

Welcome return!

We need that wall to prop us up!

That certainly was a CHALLENGE!

We can hardly stand!

Yes - it was a bit tough, but ....

Just checking our times

Fresh as a daisy!

Honestly - we enjoyed it!

All in the day's work for us!

It took all day but what an achievement!
