Didn't get to do any walking last week. I'm out of holiday time and money and with the holiday season almost upon us family chores beckoned. Spent most of my free time looking at Country Walking and Trail magazines and lusting over the pictures of places to visit. I haven't really been anywhere yet and I want to go everywhere. The thing is, they all seem a long way off. Not in terms of mileage but in terms of experience and ability. I guess the main thing I have to work on is general stamina. So, I've started swimming again and have dug out the fitness DVD and am aiming on cross-training 3 times a week and walking whenever I can, even if it's just to the pool. Great. But what I also feel I need is guidance and mentors - so any willing readers out there that can offer advice on where to walk, training ideas etc, feel free to leave a comment. I'd particularly like to visit the Peak District, Snowdonia and go back to the lakes during the first quarter of next year so - any ideas?

Thanks to 'UKBob' for your comment. You're right, walking down a scree slope in the style of Kate Moss might not be the best approach. Think I prefer the definition of 'Sturdy Girl' as found on the online Urban Dictionary: "one who is capable of looking after themselves and also quite probably of walking over rocks!" How true. As for the bulls - taking a friend is also a useful deterrent. Hope you keep reading and keep smiling.

All for now.
