Christmas Walk and Lunch

Well it was that time of year again, crackers, turkey, pud and all that – yes it’  err…  February, it’s Staveley, it’s the Eagle and Child.  Well to be honest it’s so congested in December that a tradition started some years ago for the W&NL Christmas Do to be put back to a time when we could all enjoy it after the excesses of December.  Jim, as usual, planned a nice little walk up and around Kentmere before the very obliging landlady at the E&C did us proud with a festive lunch.  Great to see our old mucker Keith out and about after his heart bypass and a chance to catch up with walking friends not seen for some time. 

Glorious conditions throughout as you can see below.

Two days ago I wouldn’t have believed I could have walked these eight or nine miles as my lower back had gone into a major spasm due to a problem with a disc.  A pretty full on physio session on Thursday afternoon brought things to a head on Friday morning, but since then things have been getting better. 

Can’t imagine that I’ll be up to the full Amble next Saturday but may tackle the short route if the improvement continues.  Another bout with the physio scheduled for tomorrow night, so who knows what Wed will bring.  Have fun all.  Hopefully see some of you on Sunday at the WHFR.
