Thanks for the comments guys
Maybe one day, I could arrange a 'walking weekend' in the Peaks and you can all come and join me at once!

Could be a lot of fun!
For now though, I just have to hope someone out there lives close enough to accompany me! I'll even throw in an ice-cream or a beer at the end of the walk!
Kayleigh, I don't rule out getting a dog

....but that can't happen while my daughter lives at home. She's allergic to them
