Wendy's November Challenge

[Wendyf]

Pendle Dogs, one of my favourite local charities, are asking their supporters to do a £100 challenge this autumn. I'm really enjoying my walking at the moment so I have challenged myself to walk 100 miles in November including Pendle's 3 peaks, Weets, Boulsworth and Pendle Hill. It sounds dramatic but it's 5 miles on twenty days which sounds more reasonable.

Nice one Wendy, good luck, I reckon you will smash it.

[Stanley]

If you want a sponsor let me know and I'll give up eating for a while to support you!

[Wendyf]

Here's the link to my Local Giving page, my friends have been very generous and have raised £70 for the cause already.

If anyone would like to join me for a walk it would be lovely.

[Stanley]

I'd be there like a shot Wendy but unfortunately wouldn't be able to stay the course. Would it count if you accompanied me on bookie watch?

[PanBiker]

I bet Sally will be up for it. She is always looking for different routes to walk, I'll mention it.

[Wendyf]

Thank you for your very generous donations Stanley, Ian and Sally. My target is reached already!
I'll come and bookie watch with pleasure.

It’ll be a walk in the park for you Wendy, enjoy xx.

[Wendyf]

Thanks Gloria. I'll certainly enjoy getting out in all weathers, I'm well stocked up with waterproofs! I've been trying to form a plan but it does depend on the weather, hills on good days and low down when it's wild.
One question for my sponsors....I take the dog for a walk round the fields at least once a day, should I add that distance to my daily totals? It's over three quarters of a mile so would help quite a bit towards my 100 miles.

[Wendyf]

More thanks for sponsoring me Gloria, I've just had a look.

[Gloria]

Definitely add it Wendy, after all, you are walking for a dogs charity.

[Wendyf]

Very true, and of course it's where Bruce came from! I hadn't thought of that.

[Wendyf]

I thought the weather might beat me today but it turned out to be better than expected... some of the time! Over 5 miles walked when I add in my morning trudge round the field with Bruce.
Tomorrow afternoon I'm looking forward to meeting up with Sally at Foulridge Wharf where she will join me for a circular walk to Salterforth via Hague and Kelbrook then back on the canal towpath. Another 5 miles or so.

[Stanley]

You look quite grim and determined Ma'am....

[Wendyf]

I'm always grim...
Today Sally joined me for a circular walk from Foulridge Wharf via Skipton Old Road to Kelbrook, then up Vicarage Road and on to Salterforth, returning along the canal. 5.31 miles and a very pleasant walk. I must have been wandering around on my dog walk this morning as it was .89 of a mile.
Total so far 11.39 miles.

[Wendyf]

A shorter walk today of just over 4.5 miles, looking forward to a Weets ascent with Sally tomorrow.

[Stanley]

You'll have a lovely day for it, clear bright and cold!

[PanBiker]

Some "new to you" paths await Wendy.

[Wendyf]

Yes, I'm really looking forward to the walk Ian. Must remember to take a photo at the trig point.

[Stanley]

Clear as a bell, it'll be a good pic! Lovely morning for them.

[Wendyf]

It was a lovely day to be up Weets, the views were magnificent and the route new to me. I am not photogenic but it had to be done!!
Over 23 miles walked in 4 days so I'm on target and without pain.
