Planning the first stage of the Big Walk

This week has seen several things come together for the first stage of my walk from Lands End to John O Groats.
Firstly I have fixed the date and the route I will take on my first stage from Crediton to Bath a distance of about 95 miles. This has been broken down into six 15 mile stages which are as follows:
14th May - Crediton to Tiverton
15th May- Tiverton to Hillfarence (near Wellington Somerset)
16th May- Hillfarence to Meare Green ( on the Somerset Levels)
17th May- Meare Green to Glastonbury
18th May-Glastonbury to Stratton-on-the-Fosse ( Mendip Hills)
19th May- Stratton-on-the-Fosse to Bath ( Alison joins me here at a farmhouse B&B and gives me a lift home!)
Booking all the B&B accommodation was fun but means that come rain or shine I have to make each days mileage!

With this in mind I have been out training and walked 10 hilly miles from Seaton to Sidmouth and have done another 5 miles today. My feet are beginning to feel good and rubbing them with Vaseline certainly seem to prevent friction blisters.
Needless to say my fellow Ramblers who I walk with on Fridays think I am Mad!
