skies have cleared, temp dropping slowly 1.4C wind fresh breeze.

Sunny start to the day, soon clouded over bitterly cold all day, light drizzly this evening, temp now 2.1C, light wind. have been watching the N-W Extra radar with the clouds forming over the warm! north sea, swinging over the wash and on to the fens, as they pass over the cold land the showers fizzly out, just before they get to Peterborough.

After walking the 4th stage of the Macmillan way near Rutland waters: early frost, cold 3/4C, light wind N/W, dry all day. now back home, temp 2.9C.

Finally got home after a longs days walking. After walking an hour and half in the dark we finally got to our pick up point in Belton in Rutland. We had a good days walking and managed 16 miles. Adam did extremely well considering he had to carry the extra weight because of the possible conditions that we may have found ourselves in, due to the unpredictable weather. The change in the landscape is phenominal with the rise and falls of the valleys along the limestone ridge that we are following to Abbotsbury in DORSET!

Temp 2.7C, and its raining, not even a hint of stiff water.

Getting everything ready for tomorrow, the forecast a couple of days ago was looking a bit bleak.Thankfully things have improved! It's still going to be cold and there will be showers in the morning and evening, this we can cope with(we are prepared for any thing)! We will be walking from Ketton to Belton in Rutland about 15 miles.This will take us round the south shore of Rutland water which has a good path all the way round. Today I sorted out my album in the gallery and hopefully we will email photos back to wifey to post as we are walking (theory). I said to wifey she should put a few things in the car in case she gets stuck. (A few years ago she was getting Number one son from school, a 8 mile round trip, when it snowed and a few idiots ran into each other, and it took Sarah 5 hours to get home). So I had a quick look in the car, it looks if shes going camping! Best to be prepared!
