15R

We went for a very short walk with Gus, our dog, the limit imposed in part by foot blisters and the need for knee braces. I’ve added a few pictures of places that Gus will never go - Tresham’s Triangular Lodge in Rushton, Northamptonshire, a random set of instructions from a building site in Haymarket, London and a circular window from the City West Hotel in Dublin - all snaps made on the iPhone over the last few weeks.


Imagine being a seventyish couple on a state pension with a severely handicapped child living at home. Imagine what happens next.

We had a fund raising quiz last Thursday and I set 'American Geography' questions. I sent 15 to the quiz master who chose ten for the quiz. Here's one that wasn't used: You probably know Alaska has the longest border with Canada (1,538 miles) but can you name the state with the shortest? Surprise, it's Pennsylvania with a 42 mile border and no official crossing points because it’s in Lake Erie.

That's it for today, just a month left before the challenge itself. So far: 80 hours, 39 walks, 373 km.
