We are driving to Cumbria this afternoon for a few days, supporting my wife’s father who is doing a 100 mile walk this weekend. My wife disappears off to work for a couple of hours this morning, so I spend the time publishing my weekly vlog and posting links to it on Facebook and a number of Parkinson’s Disease online forums to which I am subscribed.
My wife arrives back home late morning, and we hastily pack bags, load her car and depart for Cumbria (we’re going there to support my wife’s father, who is walking 100 miles with the Long Distance Walkers Association). The roads are incredibly busy, and we don’t arrive at our accommodation (in Alston) until after 9pm. We drop our bags off and then head over to Nenthead (where my wife’s parents and younger brother are staying) where we have a drink or two and make arrangements to meet up in the morning.
