Great walk yesterday

I am adding a post pretending to be John … just testing whether the login I have created for John can actually add posts.  The photo gallery is now working and for the map I am still trying to find a way of adding routes more easily.  Now has yesterday’s route.

Great walk – I have now more or less recovered.  Hope to make the next walk.

Thanks, Ben
