A long walk in the Hills is off today. I just went for an hour local walk (the usual track) and even though it was from 8:30-9:30am, the sun was still kicking up a bit of a fuss. 40deg forecast today and it already feels like the gates of Hades have been left wide open.
In fact, it's like a mini heatwave this weekend so any form of a hike is off. It's research time though and I'll probably make my way out to some camping shops to check out lightweight tents, a decent sleeping bag and perhaps even buy a compass to get some practice in. Don't even know how to work the darn things although the knowledge alone (whether it's used to navigate or not) will be an invaluable tool for a situation that may arise. Never know!
Another trail I'm interested in is the Pennine Way which runs up the middle of England and crosses Hadrian's Wall, another place of interest for me. Good chance for some decent camping along it's route and long distance practice for the Camino.
