For those of you following the blog, apologies for the lapse in updates. Mary is doing well but yesterday (Day 3) was long and tiring, involving several re-routes to avoid a section of the A6 which weren't safe to walk along. She had been aiming for Milton Ernest but ended up a couple of miles short in Oakley in failing light and the ever present rain. She will undoubtedly post her story of climbing through mud-filled ditches and close shaves with fast traffic in due course. It had been due to be an 18 mile day but the total mileage will have been well over 20.
She has changed todays (Day 4) route to take her on less busy roads. Speaking to her just now she is tired and blistered but approaching Finedon (about 5 miles short of Kettering) where she will stop for the day having walked just over 20 miles. It was another wet day.
