TheCOW.

Like a good girlfriend, I was up at 5am to make Geoff coffee and see him off on his 80 mile COW (Cambridge to Oxford ) Walk.image

He left at 6am in the rain and the first day proved to be a challenge, not only did it rain but it poured making for very wet walking conditions.

This resulted in a drive out to Wimpole hall for me, to deliver a few extra pairs of clean dry socks :-)

Geoff then spent the first night, after walking 31 miles,in his tent which thankfully survived the storms and rain. 

He is now more than haimagelf way and I am glad to report that he’s been having great weather.

So far TheCow has taken him through Biggleswade, The Flit Valley, Clopton, Flitwick , Woburn and Great Brickhill.

To his delight it included the whole of Flitwick Moor too.

So its proving to be a very scenic walk and one he  is hoping many people will want to do.image

As he plans to do a guide book for this walk.

Which is great news for me, as he will have to walk it a few more times, so I may just get a chance to go with him next time :-)

After looking at these photos who would not want to do it ???

More photos can be seen here.

    Congratulations Geoff, what a great accomplishment. I would like to stretch this walk to a week to fully appreciate the countryside. And I think it is a great idea for you to publish the walk. I know there is a programme on Radio 4 that follows people on their walks, maybe we should contact them.

  5. Glad you explained wht the COW is! I cpuldn’t do the walk but that is beautiful scenery.
