Day 5 – The Sun is put in my time in whw

I enjoy the novelty of bedtime and be able to see a train enter the station. Fortunately, not many trains pass or stop at night, so I was very calm and slept well. Nor did I hear anyone snoring, which potentially suggests that it could have been the culprit.

Very exciting, my leg hurts when I wake up. The Sun is already raised and, as is another lovely morning, I walk slowly walk through the platform of my PJS to try my leg. It is still painful but better than it has been. I feel hope.

The next train is not for more than an hour, so I’m surprised to see someone sitting waiting. They are probably so surprised to see someone walking along the train platform in their PJs.

From my window

I address the train to the south to Glasgow and the impressive weather continues. It really shows Scotland at his best. In every time I have been in Scotland over the years, I don’t think I had so many continuous days of sun and good weather.

I enjoy the views from the train window while the train slowly makes its way around the hills.

Lunch and a Glasgow massage

Just before lunch, I arrive back to Glasgow. After so many hours of sitting, I am convinced that I can walk a little. This turns out to be wrong. I only make meters off the Glasgow Queen Street station before realizing that I will have to stop to lunch somewhere very close.

I stop at the rails where everything I try to ask, to be listed in the menu, is no longer served. Not only is it not available for the day, but it is no longer an option, making me think that they should update their menus. I feel and how and then I went a couple of doors for an afternoon gift.

I have visited Liz before for a massage and yesterday when I reserve my trains, I realized that I would have time in Glasgow. Liz had a gap in his diary that I reserved quickly and now I go to a relaxing massage that I hope to help pain. In the short term not, since Liz hits his elbow in my buttocks, but it seems that something has loosen up and I am getting limited to less than before.

Last thoughts while I sit on the train home

I attracted my train to Edinburgh and then to the south. It is a long day of travel, but I go home where I hope I don’t spend much time before I walk again and without pain.

I am very happy to have gone and give it a chance and the days I walked were great. The landscape was impressive and varied and I really enjoyed walking. I am very disappointed to have to stop when I did and I think it will take time to finish having to stop early, although I know it was correct.

In the Bridge of Orchy Station today, I talked to a man who walked the whw many times and asked me if he would return, he would start from the beginning or resort to where I left it. Definitely, there is no way that I intend to meet those rocks again, so I guess that means that I will start from a Lay-by in the A82!

The sun puts on my adventure whw when I get home

A month later

I’ve been at home for a month and now it’s June. The pain in my knee has gone totally and I am back walking everywhere as before. He took a week or so to stop being painful. A visit to the physio suggests that my knee was never the problem. The weak buttocks on my right side seem to be the fault with the pain that refers to my leg to my knee.

With that knowledge, now I am trying to work to strengthen my buttocks ready to address another walk of several days in the future not very distant, so be attentive.
