To Hull and Back

In 2007 John Davies is Walking the M62 from Hull to Liverpool. I have done very little walking in my life so this sounds like a. a long way, b. treacherous (the M62 is a mean place even in a saab) c. lonely. But I suspect these are just some of the challenges that John has set himself. It feels like a good old fashioned adventure.

I suspect he is not actually going to walk along the hard shoulder of the M62 (apart from being illegal it would be really quite foolish). I guess as long as he can see the mighty M62 from the path he is walking on it will still count.

Of course this isn't Johns first walk...if you take a look at his site you can see that he has been doing quite a lot of walking - particularly around his parish in West Derby, Liverpool.

Anyway, we are planning our own trip to Liverpool in January (just enough warning for you to get the flags out). We will be in town by Fri 5th January. Staying at Bob and Sue's (to marvel in the beauty of the new kitchen), little Alex is being Baptised on Sun 7th so there wil be a little trip to Southport for that. The full schedule will be announced nearer the time.

Sounds like you're looking forward to your trip back! We've just enjoyed a weekend up there - met David Parry for the 1st time (I dealt with his DDO predecessor) as I can't make the ordinands thing at the Bishop's place tonight, among other things. Back down in Cambridge now trying to get stuck in to some essays which isn't much fun!
