2025 Gower Pilgrimage - Almost Time

Wednesday 3rd September - Prepared?

For the 12th year running the spare room looks a mess! Most of my walking kit is laid out so that I can go through it to check that I've got everything that I need. Probably tomorrow I will sort through the mass of kit and make it more sensible & manageable. I'll cut the packing down by leaving behind at least one item - probably the one thing that I will discover I needed the most!! 


I have done all the preparation that I can do. I've walked long distances; short, fast distances; steep hills; gentle river & canal meanders. I've lost over a stone in weight (Yes! I'm still working in old money!!) I'm as fit as a Septuagenarian can be.

Denise and I have batch-cooked & baked to fill a very large freezer! I have grappled with my new car and survived. Denise, on the other hand, has not even driven it yet and she'll be doing the driving around the Gower!  


Tomorrow I get my hair cut (anything to lighten the load!) I hope it doesn't sap my strength. Tomorrow and Friday (yes, it'll take that long) I'll also be to pack everything in cases, bags & boxes & putting them in the car.

Gower here we come. Wish me well.
