This was Richard on a training walk with Bakewell u3a in Musden Wood, near Ilam, Staffordshire. The wood lived up to it's name, Mu-den; although not a long walk the mud slowed everyone down, except Benji (Richard's Schnauzer) and his friend Rowen (breed not identified)
Richard sets off from Birmingham Cathedral St Philip's on 5th May hoping to arrive at Worcester Cathedral the next day, about 30 miles.
CONNECT, WALK, DONATE!
