Hiking Prep*

Ben and I are both kinda out of shape. Our hike in Devon will be an easier walk than the Great Glen Way1, but I think we’re in worse shape than last time. :-/ So I made up a hiking ramp up schedule: 3/17 (that’s today): 4 mile loop around our town. 3/23-24: 4 mile loop with hills, probably through Quarry Park 3/30-31: 5 mile hike 4/6-7: 6 mile hike, probably from home into Half Moon Bay, stop for lunch, and back 4/13-14: 8 mile hike, maybe in San Pedro Park?

I hope I’ve figured out which gallery settings I like best. 🤔
