Trent Lock - Long walk

On the 9th August it was time to stretch the legs out on a longer walk and the next one in the training for Isle of Wight Challenge 2016.

The route wasn't anything special it was all about getting some miles in our footwear, so it was a there and back walk. Starting off from mine to Trent Lock on the Erewash Canal. The views on the walk are lovely as always especially on a nice sunny summers day as the photos below show.

The walk totalled 25km or 15.5 miles if you work in old money. The isle of Wight Challenge is 54km so this was our first test on a longer walk. In the end it didn't matter it was a there and back route as we all enjoyed the views, chatting to each other and the fact we were outside exercising and socialising. 

I'm walking the IoW Challenge for Cancer Research UK again next year, my JustGiving page link is below.

Bring on the next long walk taking in a large section of the Erewash Valley Trail in September.
