GO has caught the bug, he liked to spend his free time outside, walking, this is something I have always enjoyed and have made GO tag along. I could never tell whether he was happy or just doing it to keep me quiet. Well I now know that he enjoys it. Checking out his local activities app he mentioned something about a walk, "by that park you liked". I wasn't paying attention, I was distracted. A few weeks later I was asked at work what I was doing at the weekend and a big red flag flashed in front of my eyes. I knew we were walking, I vaguely recalled something along the lines of Bolton to Ramsbottom. This didn't sound like a good idea, I was still breaking my new boots in. I was afraid.
It turns out the trail was from Bury Bolton Street station to Ramsbottom a much more manageable 5miles. There were a lot of people, all kitted out for a proper hike. I whispered to GO that we'd be in the back and we'd just stroll along. GO had different ideas, we set of in the lead pack and stayed up front for the entire trail. It's funny how fast you walk when you are not gossiping. Many people came and went but we were the only two to remain in the lead pack the whole way and for that I am so proud of us. Even the "hard part" was quite easy, the hills of Tod have cracked me. The best part was the free steam train ride back to the car at the end.
