My walking time was restricted for various reasons - especially getting married in the spring and completing the sale of my house. Then I lost at least six weeks in autumn because I succumbed to shingles and a nasty infection. I introduced my new wife to the joys of Marilyns, and though she enjoyed the Lake District she wasn't too keen on Yorkshire's 'peaty bogs' (as she called them). Hopefully, in a year's time I should be well on the way to completing the English and Welsh ones.
