Well, I was thinking over the Christmas that a bit of an adventure might be in order, to shake off the winter cobwebs and work off all the Christmas dinners (I am now approximately 8% turkey).
A long walk, go off on one, a bit of a wander.
Then I thought, I could always bring the hurleys with me, turn it into a poc fada.
Inevivitably, I then thought. Nah. Too much hassle. A step too far, bound to trip itself up.
Knowing that's not how life should be lived, I made the decision, the only way to find out if it was worthwhile, was to do it.
I found there was a nice little walkway ( a bit like the Portuguese version of the Wicklow way) through the Algarve called the "Via Algarviana", its approx 240km, broken down into 14 sections, all landmarked and ready for walking.
At least at the end of all that, I'd know if doing what think you can do is all it is cracked up to be.
With a bit of luck the weather will be with me, I'm expecting about 13 degrees, which is a fine walking temperature.
And who knows, after 6 hours of hitting a ball down a road for 3 weeks, I might even work out how to hit it straight.
