At the week-end we went to see the film  Amazing Grace , I didn’t know what the film was about but when I asked got told it was all about William Wilberforce

I then had to admit I had never heard of him……..

Some times I wonder if I learnt anything at school…..

Anyway today I decided to ask around at work , and see how many people had heard of William Wilberforce,not one person I asked knew who he was , which made me feel much better…….

People from Cambridge have obviously had a better education than the people in Downham Market.

Truthfully how many of you  had heard of William Wilberforce ????

 A photo of me in my WRAF uniform, taken in 1978….

I was in the WRAF till 1986….. My first posting was too RAF Finningley near Doncaster, infact I arrived there with another girl to find we were One of the first WRAF at that camp….

My next posting was to RAF Kinloss in Scotland…

My biggest regret… living in Scotland and not being into walking at the time, what a waste…Hopefully one day I will get the chance to walk in Scotland

Goes Barefoot dancing at the Junction in Cambridge for starters….

Then goes shopping for boots and bags….. but not the Girlie type , walking boots and ruc-sacs.

Must have drove the poor lad mad in Field and Trek…. but in the end I decided on the Asolo Flame Gtx.

Tested the boots and my heel out yesterday on a quick 6 mile walk and both felt fine, so wont be long till I am back into my training.

Good job really as we are off to french Alps on 20th April.

Ruc-sac was easier to buy, ended up with a mac-Pac light 45.

There will be plenty of room for all my kit for Corsica, although I am being watched carefully to make sure I pack real light and he does mean light…..

Almost forgot I also got a Crag Hoppers light weight fast drying Corey Jacket, so now its beans on toast for the rest of the month…..
