Over the last few months I’ve been trying to extend my walks. The furthest I’ve been is around 4 miles.

I’ve wanted to try and complete the Caerphilly Ridgeway Walk that I used to do but haven’t for quite a while. It’s a bit of a climb up to the top of the ridge but the view from the top is so worth it.

The foot is aching a bit and the back did start to ache at around the five mile mark. I took a pack with my fleece and a thermos of tea (that was gross!)

Stopping and sitting for a few minutes with my back up against the wall seemed to stave it off and at the end of the walk it was fine.

My foot seemed to be okay too until I was around 50% of the way round. It started to ache and the worst thing about the walk was the downhill sections.

Anyway, I made it and I’m still alive (despite the tea!)
