Polar Slugs in Stockbridge

Rob and Lucy came down to Hampshire for a Polar Slugs team training session today. Whilst it was not sunny … it didn’t rain! We did a great 14.6 mile circular walk from Clatford, over to Wherwell, across Chilbolton Common, Over the West Downs to the Test Way by the Mayfly Inn, Along the Test Way to Stockbridge. Out towards Danebury, and back down to Clatford.

I was out dancing at a Burns Night on Saturday and paid the price with a tweaked calf muscle! The walk helped loosen everything up and it is much better! It was great to spend a good five hours together, but with only 9 weeks to go we realised just how much stuff we still had left to sort.

This was my second long walk of the week; having dragged The Tyre 13 miles on Thursday. My next fundraising event is a sponsored tyre pull from Andover to Salisbury on Sunday 6thFebruary. The walk will be marked with a balloon release In Andover at the start of the walk, and in Salisbury to celebrate the end! There is a prize for the balloons going furthest from each release. If you would like to purchase a balloon for the princely sum of £1.00 or sponsor me for this event, please email me – jo@arctic-mummy.co.uk.

One of the key learning’sI have made this week, is that I really need to look after my body, with at least two extensive stretching sessions a day. My muscles and ligaments are just not as flexible as they were 20 years ago! Have a good week! xx
