The morning after the Parish before...

This is only a short piece to say that after an emotional roller coaster of a day yesterday I crossed the finishing line just after 4am this morning in a time of 20 hours, 6 minutes and 3 seconds. It wasn't easy and I felt worse during this years event than I did in 2011, but my back up crew (including my 2 daughters Holly and Lucy) got me through the day and night, Thank you so much!

My analysis of the Parish Walk 2013 will appear in the next blog post (I might need a couple of days to get over it first though!).

  2. I think I'll be hanging up my walking shoes for a while. The stretch from Maughold to Lonan and beyond was the most agonising bit of walking I've ever done! Was good to have your support through Andreas though... The can of larger you had looked tempting!
