The Mechanics

I haven't walked for more than seven weeks.  Another huge break, another delay added on to this target time that is fast becoming farcial.  Eight months this was supposed to take me, eight months has become almost thirteen and I'm only two thirds of the way through, over 1000 miles still to go.

I've still got my kit, I have the framework of what I'm supposed to do, I'm supposed to walk every day, camp at night, tell people about the journey, raise money for charity, it's all there ready for me to step into.

My feet feel better, it's great to have almost two months of not walking, the muscles have relaxed in my legs, the tendons healed, much less pain and tenderness.

I took a break because my brother had a car accident, almost died and suffered a brain injury.  I've been away for almost two months visiting him in the hospital, taking care of his life, supporting him as he recovered. 
He's not better yet, I'll be taking regular breaks from walking every week or so to go back and visit him.

I've come back to this because it's the only thing I was doing, there's no point in going back to Mach, leaving the journey unfinished.  I need to come back to the walk and pick up the strings of what I put down on the 1st of Feb, follow the trail I've left for myself all the way down to Cardiff then Bristol then back home to Machynlleth.  I'll do it because it's all there is.
