All is not lost…

Veronica writes; there is nothing more frustrating than the extreme weather conditions which have hampered our planned walking preparations. They remind us of our trawler men unable to put to sea in bad weather and counting the cost of the lost days of fishing. However all is not lost, thanks to an enterprising couple who live within sight of the Solway Firth and the Lake District. Jackie & Peter Jensen, at Ullerbank Farm, Talkin Brampton, hire out their swimming pool complete with Jacuzzi, so swimming is a great way of keeping fit for the forthcoming walk. And it was on the return from such a lovely dip in their pool that Tony McAvoy (the AOS North East Co-ordinator who is organizing the sponsorship) met us with the A.O.S. shirt tops which we shall wear on the way. Things are falling into place and the excitement is almost tangible.
