Beautiful weather, lovely hill walking, sheep, cows and pints. Thanks for your support - please donate if you can. Ta.
Such a wet day! Not much of a view with the mizzle sheeting down, but not every day can be glorious. Rewarding to conquer a difficult stretch of the Dales Way. Enjoy our difficulty... and donate if you can. Thank you.
Guest appearances from two experienced Dales Way walkers we met in the pub - their insights and encouragement were invaluable. Please donate to our two charities of choice if you can.
We are walking the Dales Way in memory of Jose Smallwood, JDMS's mother and JJS's Nanny, who we lost at 94 in February.
Here, JJS reads her eulogy, first delivered at Jose's funeral at the Methodist chapel in Spondon, Derby just a few months ago.
We are fundraising for the Dogs Trust in Jose's memory. The link is on the Twitter page - please be generous if you can. Thanks.
A long day's walk. Hugely rewarding but oh, my legs!! Please consider donating if you can and haven't done so already. And thanks.
Beautiful weather, phenomenal views, the walk's well under way. Thanks for all your support - please donate if you can. Cheers!
Bolton Abbey, Strid Woods, rainfall and the rest. A good first day and pints well earned. Thanks for listening - please donate if you can. Speak to you tomorrow!
The band are back together!
JDMS and JJS join your from a lovely pub on a picturesque corner of West Yorkshire the night before embarking on the Dales Way!
Enjoy, and please donate if you can: https://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/fundraiser-display/showROFundraiserPage?userUrl=douglassmallwood&pageUrl=1
