Since I bought a new smartphone a couple of months ago I’ve been struggling to get the Viewranger app to record a track. After checking with @viewranger on twitter and some tweaking of the settings the problem seems to be solved. So here’s the 23 mile walk I did yesterday with the Thames Valley LDWA. 36.8 km and  439m of ascent/descent.

There were 20 of us on the walk, a good weather forecast probably helping to get quite a high turnout. It was sunny and mild in the morning, clouding over a bit in the afternoon but dry all day. We went through some picture-postcard Cotswold villages and scenery – these pictures are of Barton Abbey near Middle Barton. Thanks to Maureen for designing and leading the walk

Just one problem. I shall need to get my footwear sorted out before I go to the the Picos de Europa with Exodus in June. By the end of the day I had a BIG blister under each of my heels!
