Only 4 Weeks To Go

Thank goodness. I'm bored with training. I'm bored reading forums(a). I'm bored with guide books. I WANT TO GO........ NOW!!!!!!
Out tomorrow on the 14 mile Burscough Loop with a full pack but no hills 'cos the Lancashire plain is like that. You know....... plain. We were hoping to do High Cup Nick, which I will do this year, but we could only do that on Sunday due to commitments tomorrow morning, and the forecast for Appleby on Sunday is cold and wet, so we are postponing.
No other news of a Camino related type.
Have to say that the deaths of Victoria Wood and Prince is continuing the loss of artists of incredible genius that started in January. RIP both. Having been a newsagent for more years than I care to remember, the Victoria Wood song with the line 'beat me on the bottom with my Woman's Weekly' has to be one of my all time favourites. It works better because I can remember the little old ladies who used to buy it.

Trial Packing

Just 7 weeks to go. Settled on Logrono as the start point and booked a hotel, so we can stop wondering if that's the right decision now!
I did a trial pack last week and the pack weighed in at 10.5kg (TOO MUCH!!). We did a 20km circuit at Rivington on Easter Monday and I carried a smidgin under 10kg (STILL TOO MUCH!!). So this afternoon I have re thought what to take and got down to just over 8kg (MUCH BETTER). Heather however was still carrying a bit too much, so we took the sleeping bag that Heather was carrying out of her pack and put it in mine. I now have just over 9kg (OK) and she is carrying 7 and a bit (ALSO OK). We are both now trying to work out if we've forgotten anything.
I've gone back to reading the Camino blogs after getting fed up with po-faced Americans and (strangely) Aussies and New Zealanders. They are all still there. I'm slightly concerned that 4-5 weeks in the company of Trump supporting yanks might be too much for my equilibrium. I'll try to stay chilled.

Our hotel/hostel in Logrono.
