Proper Walks
These past two weekends, I've had what I'd call two "proper" walks, both from Old Laxey to the Dhoon via the main road then back over Ballaraugh. The first time took 1 hour 30 mins and the second time took 1 hour 25 mins. The wind was so strong around the Bulgham Rocks that I was nearly blown over each time. I'd felt that I really didn't have time to go out for these walks but the feeling on coming home again was brilliant. Getting buffeted by the wind, trying to force yourself to go that bit faster makes you whizz along when it comes to the flat and the downhills. Really, I think I should be doing these walks (about 5 miles) mid-week with a longer one at the weekend but as I said at the begining, I'll just do what I can.
