Finally have a route through England! Here it is, although Cornwall fell off the left side, and I don't quite get to Scotland, it'll keep me busy for awhile.

Will keep you posted on more! Will be posting more once the trip begins--this sunday!! I leave Utah for the UK on May 16--begin the trip on May 26th from Lands End. Hope to hear from you along the way!

The Latest

 

Midnight's getting new shoes May 19; 70 pounds or about $105US. She gets new shoes every four weeks or less! Me? I'm patching my old Blunnies with Goop, buying "rubbers," as they call them in the UK, and getting used to wet feet!

Scheduled a night at Paradise Valley Livery in Cornwall and Ian, the owner, tells me that his aunt was the first person to ride End to End, and that she did it TWICE! Unfortunately, she's passed on--should have liked to talk to her.

O.K.! So I can now get from Lands End to Dartmoor National Park with a route in place and placed to overnight the pony. Only 1,156 miles to go!

So I took the sewing machine in to be repaired and the fellow said, "Oh, I can see what's wrong--you must have jammed it on something." Ah, yeah.

Was in a rush to repair my Utah horse's summer blanket (to protect him from gnat bites to which he is allergic) when the sewing machine suddenly stopped running, I noticed I had sewn over my index finger, putting the needle through my fingernail and out the other side. My friend Lynne says I'm the most accident-prone p...erson she knows--hope Midnight is ok with that!

Getting ready--again!

Been getting ready for E2E2! Repacking gear, making contacts and reservations, and working with the British Horse Society on a route. Getting excited! Leaving the u.s. Around May 15 to begin the ride from lands end on may 26. Also setting up applications on my iPhone so I can blog ( like this ) and update thru facebook. So I'm now going to push send and see if it works!
