I Got The Bug

Throughout your life you encounter many situations and opportunities. Some you dismiss, some you dream about and some become a reality. Once in awhile a situation arises that you realize is an opportunity that you do not want to miss.  It could just be a passing thought or suggestion by a friend, a show on TV, or an article in a magazine. Sometimes you hear a friend discuss the trip over a period of several years and it starts to grow on you even though you just keep in in your thoughts. Well this is what happened to Linda and I. 

Jen - North York Moors 2012

We did a few tramps through the north of England a few years ago and I got the bug.  We saw the signpost markers for the C2C and Linda exclaimed we should do this walk. I just mumbled ya maybe or let’s see. Meanwhile I was thinking she must be cuckoo. Who wants to walk 200 miles over hill, dale, swamp and meadow with perhaps some of the most inclement weather the UK has to offer. After many walks, long conversations and lots of laughter we are off.. as far as motivation…….the opportunity to spend time with a dear friend is all it took for me.
