My final walk of the year.
We got a flier from work at lunchtime (I hoped we would) so I went to Paull straight from work and did my utmost to extend the walk as best I could, knowing my "normal" route is about 2 or 2.5 miles.
Anyway, despite the biting wind, it was a lovely way to round off the year.

As I reached my car I took a sneak-peek at my mileage - I was half a mile short! So I trotted off up the flood embankment towards Saltend to make my 365th mile a little more interesting than a quick dash round the block in the dark later.
These were my views for that last half a mile:
 |
| Old boats at the ship yard |
 |
| Saltend Chemical Works |
 |
| Saltend Jetties |
I'm really chuffed to bits at completing my challenge this year and I found the last few days of 4 miles a day to catch up quite easy. Better still, my achilles tendon doesn't seem to be suffering any ill effects and, indeed, if I'd had the time/daylight, I'd have happily walked further.
I did enjoy my cuppa and chocolate when I got in though!
Thanks for looking 😊
