Welcome to the forum, Tom, though I know from your profile you have been visiting for a while already it is good to see you posting and be able to say Hi!

All my best wishes for good walking weather on the days.

Have you decided which part of the route to do or are you planning on attempting to do the whole circuit?

Thanks for posting that link, Dai.

It was recommended last year as "required viewing" on one of the low carb support boards I visit, but I had lost the link to it.

hi Dai

Out of interest,have you ever seen or heard of the Zulu warrior,the reason I ask,is you mentioning the local barracks requesting rebel songs,they were banned in barracks ,Once heard and seen never forgotten.

I think the words ring true,kill or be killed.different world.time and place, keep writing,you have something to say ,love Eve

Dai

I hope you are going to put music to those lyrics ?

It reminds me a bit of the Irish rebel songs of the sixties, believe it or not the forces use to listen to them too.
Hope to hear it to music soon Love Eve

Hi Nicola

Like everyone else, I am so sorry your dad lost the battle with MM so soon. Hold onto the fact that the love we have for one another never dies, but carrries on surrounding us with its warmth and protection. This is why memories are so comforting.

Love and prayers for you and all the…[Read more]
