After a great Christmas and a brill new year I didn’t think it could get any better but I start the new year off by going away to Les Gets for a few days, we fly 
out on Sunday and I’m starting to get very excited, having never done much traveling this will be a new experience for me .I hope to have a go at some snow shoeing and I know Geoff is desperate to get on his snowboard. My boys are looking forward to having the house to themselves too, the girlfriend will keep them in order… Have also downloaded Skype and hope to get all my friends using it too
Lycian Way
The Lycian way is a long distance walk in Turkey. While I was in Cambridge Geoff and I met up with Clare and Dave who did the walk In April and May 2006. We are trying to decide if it would be a good training walk for the GR20. They certainly had lots of interesting information and their enthusiasm for the walk was very catching .our plan would be to fly to Antalya airport, then use the bus and just walk a few sections but at the moment we are not 100% sure this will be our training walk
New year in Cambridge
 I spent the week-end in Cambridge, decided to drive , for the first time, and I lived up to my reputation and got lost , but I did find my way eventually. It was not all partying we did go for a couple of walks, 15 and 7 miles, getting totally soaked to the skin on the 15 mile walk. Also went bowling, which I really enjoyed especially as I won, as you can see by the scores on the photo.  I missed seeing my friend Ellee but will see her soon as we are going away to Sheringham for a week-end of walking with the Cambridge rambling club . We saw the new year in at a party given by Caroline who runs the simply social club a good time was had by all, and I look forward to walking with them in February.
Back to Work
 Bad start to the day as I got up thinking it was tuesday, then realised it was thursday, difference being I start work earlier on a thursday, but managed to be only a few mins late. For those that dont know I work on the Fish counter at a tesco store. Today I had very little fish to sell just alot of whole salmon and salmon sides ,still on half price offer since Christmas.  Was not a busy day so I spent most of the day thinking about my GR20 walk and the training I must do. Thats perhaps why all I could think about was going for a jog when I got home.I used to do alot of jogging more jogging than walking at one time, but got sore knees so stopped going. Today was my first jog in 4 months and i did 2 miles in aprox 24 mins. I see Geoff has got another plan for another walk…some times I wonder if its him or me thats the mad one…..its the Lycian Way, which is in Turkey but that will be another story

Christmas Walk
Today was the day of my Annual Christmas walk, with friends I have made from the RA forum. All the guys had cried off sick with man flu or other excuses so that just left four of us girlies. This was just fine because we had alot of chatting to catch up with. It had been decided that I would organize the walk 
this time, which is quite a risk as I usually get us lost….but not this time. The plan was to walk from Heacham to Thornham along the coastal path, then bus back to Hunstanton and walk the last 2 miles back to Heacham, this being about 10 miles but we were enjoying ourselves so much that we walked both ways making it 16.6 miles. Got back to cars in the dark, but the day had been wonderfull, full of chat and laughter
CORSICA GR20
Well I posted on the RA forum that I wanted a walking holiday next year but I never expected to get the opportunity to walk in Corsica.if all goes to plan I hope to do this walk in June 07. Going to have to do a lot of training because although I walk a lot and can do 20 mile walks, I’m not used to the hills or walking on consecutive days. Hope to have a training week ,in March, in the hills somewhere to see just how fit or unfit I am. I had a nice E-mail from Judy off the RA forum today offering words of encouragement, and i think that has made me more determined to do this walk. Judy herself is doing a fantastic walk soon, which will take her approx 8 month to complete , details can be found a www.alpinechallenge.info and i wish her lots of luck in her travels.
