07/06 : Get your YOMP on !!

The Yomp is on.  We had a 07:00 kick off and we were off !

06/06 (T-1) : Yomp eve

So in the lead up to the yomp, with a few miles to spare, I achieved my own little mini goal of 500 miles of on-foot training activities over the last two months across the various walks and runs documented on this site :-)

Travelled up from Liverpool to Blairgowrie, stopping briefly at Edinburgh Airport to rendezvous with Team Oracle for collection of the hire vehicles.  Registered for the yomp, had some food and the all important team photo.  Time for a good nights rest.

05/06 PM - (T-2) : A wonder around Liverpool

Started off with a visit to the Museum of Liverpool.  Spread over 3 floors, it illustrates the history of Liverpool over the centuries.  Really informative - it takes you through important facets (for better or worse) that have towards shaping the city of Liverpool - music (incl. The Beatles), football, war, shipping, culture, employment, social unrest, industry, difference in demographic between Liverpool and other parts of the UK.

The photo illustrates an observation about the conditions faced by those who survived after returning home from the end of the First World War.  Such conditions were what led Winston Churchill to form the Army Benevolent Fund to help those returning home from the Second World War.

Just toddling around the city for a bit afterwards, we clocked up 6K.

05/06 AM - (T-2) : Last training run

Took the opportunity of being in different surroundings.  Did some research before starting off and plotted an 11K route starting at the docks and heading north, stopping by the statues of the Fab Four for a quick photo, then further north before looping back via the canal.  The weather was drizzly which made a nice change. 

04/06 - (T-3) : The Boss at Anfield

Travelled to Liverpool to see Bruce Springsteen at Anfield.  Just right outside the stadium before going in, took a photo of the street art "You'll Never Walk Alone", situated on Skerries Road.  The Boss put on a great show, playing for around 3 hours.  We then walked the 5K back to the hotel.    

03/06 - (T-4) : No walk today

Spent the evening assembling clothes and gear to take away as we leave for Liverpool tomorrow

02/06 PM - (T-5) : Night walk

A rare night walk out with the dogs.  We did 7K - edging closer to my mini goal of 500 miles of training activities leading up to the yomp.

02/06 AM - (T-5) : Morning run

A 12K morning run in the sun, a fair chunk of which was in the woods.  Starting the tunes off today was Kashmir by Led Zeppelin which led onto some great motivational tracks like Gimme Shelter by the Rolling Stones.  She Sells Sanctuary by The Cult came on just after I'd finished.

01/06 - (T-6) : A walk around the Woburn estate

The dogs and I did a 12K walk through and around the grounds Woburn.  We parked up opposite St Mary's church, then took the pavement along George Street before turning in onto the footpath that leads to Woburn Abbey Deer Park / Woburn Park Airfield.  Right in the middle is the memorial stone.  We then followed the path up to the perimeter of the bear and lion enclosures (no sightings today).  There were hundreds of deer just freely roaming around, checking us out from a distance but happy for us to be there.  Onwards through the woods and past the main entrance to the Safari Park, we took the re-routed footpath that led us into the forest entrance for Go-Ape, where the rhododendron's were very beautiful in full bloom and in dapple shade from the tree canopy above.  Exiting the Safari Park, it was across the road down Horsepool Lane.  Just on the corner I spotted a plaque attached to the public footpath sign commemorating the fact and location not away that on the 9th September 1941, a British Bomber had crashed in flames, killing two of the crew while two other crew survived having bailed out.  Turning into the footpath and then up the high street, we completed our 12K loop.

31/05 PM - (T-7) : A walk around Bletchley

The dogs and I headed down to Bletchley in the car and parked up by St Mary's Church.  We then did a loop of the Blue Lagoon nature reserve.  On our return I spotted what looked like a community garden bursting with colour from the flowers in full bloom.  On closer inspection, its actually a sensory garden full of scented roses and other plants.  A bit of research later revealed the garden has been in existence since 1967 and owes it present condition to the hard work of local volunteers.  On the way home, I stopped to grab some photos of Bletchley Park that I will use in a Linked In post soon.

31/05 AM - (T-7) : A steady run

A nice steady 12K run with a slightly varied route out to Woughton, building up my mental map of the area.  Even though it looked a bit cloudy when I started, it soon warmed up.  I then had a nice cuddle with Nyx when I got back.

30/05 - (T-8) : A short walk with family

Thomas and Abbey came over with the Freya and Rian so we did a short walk to the paddock to visit Dash and his buddies, then onto the stepping stones for a little splash in the stream and to see what they could find in their fishing rods.

29/05 - (T-9) : Crochet art in Whaddon

An early evening walk with the dogs out the back through Hazeley Wood and onto Whaddon to capture a snap of this wonderful piece of crochet that was a 'topper' to the local post box (spotted on a previous drive by).  It's been there a few weeks and the design was to mark the 80th anniversary of VE day.  You can see the cups, teapot and Spitfire.  I understand this postbox commonly hosts toppers to mark various other events throughout the year.  Such skill and creativity - hats off to the creator!  

Our walk was 12K overall and it was quite humid and very blustery.  Through Hazeley Wood we stuck to the avenues where we could, but it was a bit jungle like in places.  The dogs loved their time off the lead too.

Also took the opportunity to take a photo of Whaddon Jubilee Hall, where I had previously taken a closeup photo of just the blue plaque (scroll down to 20th April).

28/05 - (T-10) : Poppies at The Tower of London

After handing back a customer laptop on completion of a project, it was a walk along The Embankment to The Tower of London.  To mark 80 years since VE day a few weeks back, 30000 ceramic poppies have been positioned mostly inside the walls of the Tower as part of an installation called "The Tower Remembers".  The photo shows the tail end of the installation by Traitors Gate.

27/05 PM - (T-11) : Over to Newport Pagnell

Newport Pagnell has been the historic home of 007's choice of automobile, Aston Martin since they relocated there from Middlesex in 1955, and its been on my list of places to mention in this blog.

With the dogs, parked up in Great Linford and walked into town along the old Railway Walk.  On arrival, you could not miss the mural of Liam Williamson - England Women's Football Captain and UEFA 2022 Euro Championship Winner, and by the way, congratulations to Leah for winning the UEFA Women's Champions League with Arsenal at the weekend.  Good timing for a visit to 'Paggers' then.  It was then over to Tickford Street to grab a couple of quick photos.  Prompted by the incoming call “WHERE ARE YOU?”, it was then a quick dash back to the car as I needed to get the homemade chips on, to go with the lamb for dinner!

27/05 AM - (T-11) : 13K run

A windy 13K run in quite a decent time.  Now if only I could sustain that pace, that would be sub-2 hour half marathon, or sub-4 hour full marathon - but that would be very tough.  Starting track for Spotify to choose today's music from is Suspicious Minds by Elvis Presley.

NOTE: This post started off as day (T-10) but then in projecting forward what would be day (T-0), I've noticed I'm a day out, along with about 25 previous posts so I'm going to edit them all to correct it.  The issue was when I did a walk and run on the same day!

26/05 - (T-12) : Aspley Woods

An early evening short drive across to Woburn Sands for a walk in Aspley Woods with the dogs.  After parking up, a quick photo of the plaque on the green opposite that marks some of the achievements of local athletics legend Greg Rutherford.  Beside that was an 8.31m length of wood set in the ground, the distance he jumped when he won the Long Jump Gold Medal in the London 2012 Olympic Games.

Then it was into the virtually empty woods for a 10K loop.  There was a bit of rain but we were protected by the tree canopy.  The dogs loved the time they had off the lead. 

25/05 - (T-13) : Stowe 10K ... and cake

Went across to Stowe National Trust to do the 10K (routine 3rd Sunday of the month).  Although forecast for a bit of rain, that held off and it turned out to be very warm.  The circuit takes you down the main drive, then two loops of the gardens.  There is a killer incline about 2K in, which you hit again on 2nd loop.  They call it 10K but my Strava recorded it as 11.5K.  Bev was there to support, along with the dogs, and the reward was a coffee and a slice of poppyseed and orange cake in the cafe afterwards.

24/05 - (T-14) : A run with Wolfie

With the overnight rain, it was nice and cool on our 5K run around Furzton Lake this morning.  On the walk back home, Wolfie couldn't resist having a good itch and scratch on the damp grass.

A good track that came on today - Skin Deep by The Stranglers.

23/05 - (T-15) : Late evening walk

A late evening walk with the dogs around Shenley Wood, this tree is an ancient oak tree on the perimeter of the wood.

22/05 - (T-16) : Walk to Whaddon

It was our friend Karen's birthday so I did a 5K walk across to Whaddon to meet the rest for dinner.  On arrival, I also took the opportunity to quickly visit what is left of 'Windy Ridge', shown in the photo with St Mary's church in the background.  This site housed a radio mast and other associated equipment that was active in WWII and connected to Whaddon Hall not far away where ultra secret messages were processed.  Sadly the site fell into decay and suffered from vandalism in the years since the war, leaving just the concrete bases now. 

21/05 - (T-17) : Walk to the station

Just a short walk to the station this morning for a day in the office.  Stopping by the paddock to see Dash and his buddies (Dash is the youngster top left in the photo).

20/05 - (T-18) : Run to the yard

Havn't been to the yard for a while so did a 9K run there, taking a slightly different route around the back of Hazeley Wood, which meant I avoided a large section of road.  Nice cool weather too, and quite misty at 05:30.  Rupert hadn't seen me for a while so was a little anxious, but he soon settled into his horse Weetabix.

19/05 - (T-19) : Watling Street Milepost

Living in a (relatively) new town/city, it would be easy to overlook finer details of the surroundings and environment.

This photo was taken while out on dog walk with Wolfie and Nyx and shows one of the old Mileposts.  It is situated on Watling Street, the historic road that starts in Dover, runs through London and Milton Keynes and onwards all the way to Wroxeter.  The section of Watling Street passing this Milepost would have been the old A5 which has since been re-routed.  Still this section retains the name Watling Street and was said to have been originally paved by the Romans between 43 and 75 AD.  Amazing!

18/05 - (T-20) : Just a simple walk

After the memorable 50K training walk in London I did with my friend Osagie, just a simple 5K walk with the dogs around Loughton.

In this photo, beside the information post is a memorial rose that was planted earlier this year in memory of Carolyn Rose, a former resident of Loughton who was very active in the community.  Carolyn sadly passed away in 2019.

17/05 - (T-21) : 50K Training walk in London

A brilliant day spent in the company of my good friend and colleague Osagie as we train for the Yomp.  We did 55K (as recorded by Strava), spelling "Cateran Yomp 2025" as our route took us through Central London.  Many thanks to Zach from Harlow who bought us a beer when he saw us in Covent Garden, and to his buddy Josh for the £10 donation to the ABF cause.

16/05 - (T-22) : London training walk prep

I originally posted a place holder message here with the intention of doing a short evening walk but that never came to fruition.

Instead I was getting ready for our 50K training walk in London - crafting a flag each for myself and Osagie.

15/05 - (T-23) : Millennium Milepost (Knowhill)

I took up casual running soon after Covid-19 hit, starting with the couch to 5K app just doing loops of my local recreational ground.  I now venture out a bit further, trying to incorporate lots of open space, lakes, rivers, streams, woods, tracks or trails whenever I can.  Out just on a casual walk with the dogs today, the photo here is of a Millennium Milepost (one of 1000 dotted around the UK) located in Knowhill by the Tear Drop Lakes on Cycle Route 51.  The Royal Bank of Scotland funded the creation and installation of the posts in around 2000 and there are 4 milepost designs.  You can read more about the project here:

https://threepointsofthecompass.com/2020/12/23/trail-talk-sustrans-millennium-mileposts/

14/05 - (T-24) : Band practice

I did a 13K run where my loop included a brief stop by Howe Park Wood to say hello to the Frog Marchers (just a name I've given them!) as they do their early morning band practice.  They were a bit rusty though!

13/05 - (T-25) : Woody walk

Even at 7 o'clock It was still very hot so decided to go to the woods for a walk.  These woods have not featured in this blog thus far, but they really are a gem, out of the way and very quiet so nice and comfortable off the lead.  I did just under 5K but if the doggies had Strava, I reckon they will have each done double that.  They both usually go up on ahead but here is a nice shot of Nyx returning and checking in with me, that I'm still there!

12/05 PM - (T-26) : Dusk walk

Waited for the temperature to drop before going out for a 7K walk with the dogs.  The sunsets on the west side of MK always offer nice views.

12/05 AM - (T-26) : Turn the volume up to maximum !!

The route for my early morning 12K run took me down to Bletchley and past the home of Marshall Amplifications, where they have been based since 1967.

11/05 - (T-27) : Wolverton - Royal Train Shed

A walk around the nature reserve on the outskirts of Wolverton, completing the loop via the canal.  Even though it was early evening, it was still very warm, and the dogs took the opportunity to cool off in the river.

My route took me past this building (although its not the best photo) close to Wolverton station.  Wolverton has a long railway heritage and this building used to house the Royal Train from 1963 until 1991.  The building has since been converted into residential use.

10/05 - (T-28) : Pangea Day Pillar @ Milton Keynes Rose - Campbell Park

I've run past Milton Keynes Rose a few times on my 10K loops.  It comprises a series of pillars, each engraved with specific day marking a specific event.  Having read up a little beforehand, I noticed there was one for the 10th May, so I went in search of it, and here it is.  Follow these links to find out more about the Milton Keynes Rose and what Pangea Day is ...

09/05 - (T-29) : Just a walk to the shop

Working overnight on a project go-live event and have been preparing for that so just a walk to the local shop to pick up something for dinner.

Went past our local church which was bathed in the evening sun, and sporting its relatively new flag.

08/05 PM - (T-30) : Journey home

Tube's were up the spout so walked from Moorgate back to Euston.  Got a little bit lost around the Barbican estate but did spot a photo opportunity of this soldier silhouette and Union Jack.

08/05 AM - (T-30) : 80 Years Since VE Day

Caught the early train from MK into Euston so I could do some boot drawing on my way into the office.

07/05 - (T-31) : To the woods

Different woods to the ones posted about before.  A very tranquil location.

"Now where has that Wolfie got to, he was here a moment ago?"

06/05 PM - (T-32) : An evening walk

A 7K loop into Loughton and past the Tear Drop Lakes, then into Furzton overlooking that lake and back home.

The photo is of the Roll Of Honour in the porch of the Memorial Hall in Loughton, which like the one in Shenley Church End, is a tribute to those who lost their lives in WW1.  Again multiple people from the same family - gone.

06/05 AM - (T-32) : Smoothie Tuesday !!

After my big Chiltern's walk at the weekend, a gentle 5K run followed by a nice home made smoothie.

05/05 - (T-33) : Remembering the fallen

As we begin to mark 80 years since VE day, the end of WW2 in Europe, my walk took me past Shenley Church End War Memorial by Saint Mary's Church.  It's a pillar in honour of those who lost their lives in the WW1.

Its poignant that of the names listed, several share the same surname.

04/05 - (T-34) : May the 4th Be With You

Greetings to all you Star Wars fans.  A walk with Wolfie and Nyx past the Toot in Shenley Church End, a historical site that dates back to the Domesday survey of 1086.

03/05 - (T-35) : A big Chiltern’s loop

I wanted to do a walk along the Ridgeway in the Chilten's, so I did a bit of route planning to include various locations and some proper ascents.

With a 04:00 AM alarm call, I was soon on the road in the car heading to my start point.  I arrived at Ivinghoe Beacon car park around 05:30 and had my orange juice, porridge and coffee.  I started walking around 05:50, through the woods in Ashridge Estate and then into Aldbury (one of locations used for the famous 1967 film "The Dirty Dozen").  The carpets of bluebells were amazing.  From there it was onto Tring and into Wendover Woods.  There were wonderful far-reaching views at Coombe Hill Monument, before I stumbled across Chequers where I sat and had lunch.  The furthest point south west I reached was Whiteleaf Hill (again with lovely views) before turning back, going via the canal (known locally as the Wendover Arm) through Halton and Pitstone before the final ascent to reach Ivinghoe Beacon.

The route was about 60K in total and took me 13 hours including stops.  Over the distance the elevation gain was 1100m.

02/05 PM - (T-36) : It's Friday !!!

No tour of MK is complete without a visit to the concrete cows !!  Wolfie was very much unconvinced of their credentials.

02/05 AM - (T-36) : Run with Wolfie

An 8K run with Wolfie into the woods and along the boundary trail (Swans Way).  First time off lead lead while running as well, what a good boy he was - well done Wolfie (with just one pit stop!!).  Track chosen by Spotify - Show Me The Way, by Peter Frampton. 

01/05 - (T-37) : Walk

1st of the month so it feels like its getting closer now.  Making the most of all the fine weather, an evening walk, through the woods and out into the open with some nice off lead exercise and a dip into the brook.

30/04 PM - (T-38) : Another walk to the office

Much better weather this week than last week.  A 7 K walk from Euston to Moorgate, slightly indirect via Regents Canal towpath.

29/04 PM - (T-39) : An stroll in the evening sun

Did the reverse of the walk we did at the weekend along parts of the River Great Ouse and the Grand Union Canal, but with a minor tweak having researched the online map.  Being out the way, there's very few people around.  Stopped by the stream for some more fun in the water.

29/04 AM - (T-39) : 10 K morning run

A fairly decent time for a 10 K run.  Part of the route took in the woods so had some nice cover, but out in the open towards the end it was really starting to warm up.  Just to show I'm not faking by toodling around on an e-scooter, the picture is a sweaty me !!  

28/04 - (T-40) : 40 days left to the yomp !!

An early morning dog walk before it gets too hot for them.  6 K around Lodge Lake.

Track for today : 40 days and 40 nights - Muddy Waters

27/04 PM - (T-41) : Afternoon splish splash

After the Stowe run, came home and had lunch, then took the dogs out for a walk along the canal and the river.  They really enjoyed getting wet in the warm weather.

27/04 AM - (T-41) : Stowe 10 K

Myself and my good friend David did the Stowe National Trust gardens 10 K run (a monthly event since Autumn 2024).  The weather was glorious.  We stopped for a well earned snack in the cafe afterwards.

Well done to all the marathon runners in London and elsewhere too.

26/04 - (T-42) : Afternoon walk

An lovely afternoon walk the dogs with some nice off lead exercise time.  Our route took us past the Reading Garden in Shenley.  The mosaic was created as part of a project to celebrate our late Queen's Platinum Jubilee in 2022.

25/04 (T-43) : Early morning run

A 14K run up to Stony Stratford and back.  The two signs in the picture are The Cock and The Bull inns which, according to folklore, is where the term "Cock and Bull Story" comes from !  Back in the day (way way back), people travelling along the old Roman Road Watling Street (now High Street) through the town would use the inns as a staging post, and when engaging with the locals they would tell rather imaginative tales of events from further afield, and so began a rivalry between the inns as to who had the best tale.

24/04 (T-44) : Evening sunset walk

A 10K loop with Wolfie and Nyx, heading out west of MK to catch the evening sunset.  The picture is looking out west towards Whaddon and in the distance on the left with the backdrop of trees is the current Whaddon Hall, dating from 1820 and played a crucial role during WWII, handling ultra important signals intelligence - see you get a free history lesson here too !!

23/04 (T-45) : Wet, wet, wet

A trip to the office today, so just a walk to the station in the rain, but there are the escalators at the tube exits to get in a bit of elevation training !  And by the way, a happy St Georges Day.

22/04 (T-46) : Morning run

An 11K early morning run in the crisp spring sunshine.

21/04 (T-47) : Doggie walk in the drizzle

A trek to the local Go Outdoors with Wolfie and Nyx to do a recce for some of the kit I'll need for the yomp.  The treats by the store entrance were welcomed after the walk from home in the drizzle.

20/04 (T-48) : Afternoon walk

Using mostly public footpaths, a 21K loop in the afternoon sun heading out to Whaddon, then towards Beachampton before heading back via Stony Stratford.  Walking past the village hall in Whaddon, I saw the blue plaque shown above.  The hall is said to have had a direct landline to Bletchley Park from which messages of ULTRA significance (Top Secret) were handled.  Fascinating !

NOTE : For the eagle eyed amongst you, I've updated this picture to include the Jubilee Hall itself, which I managed to grab on a later walk to Whaddon (T-9).

19/04 (T-49) : Late afternoon walk

A 6K loop around Stockgrove Country Park with the dogs.  Beautiful weather.  Wolfie and Nyx had lots of fun as you can tell.

18/04 (T-50) : Morning run

A run to Willen Lake and back, although needed to stop earlier than intended so managed 10K.  Bumped into Isla coming the other way who was in the middle of a 12 mile run.  Hope that went well Isla.  A pretty good track that started my Spotify radio off with, Funky Kingston - Toots and The Maytals

17/04 - (T-51) : Pre-Easter walk

An 8K walk around the local area with Wolfie and Nyx, taking in Shenley Brook End, where the great Alan Turing was a resident during his time at Bletchley Park.  It is said that upon the outbreak of war, he converted his savings into 2 silver bars that he buried in the local area, recording their locations in code.  After the war, despite the genius that he was, he failed to locate the silver bars, and to this day they remain undiscovered ....

16/04 - (T-52) : Walk to the office

Why tube when you can walk! 

An early start from MK into Euston, then a 12k walk to Moorgate, taking an indirect route and stopping by a few sights on the way.  Loads of runners out, probably preparing for the marathon (good luck to you all).

15/04 PM - (T-53) : Evening walk

Should have checked the forecast as we got soaked half way through.

15/04 AM - (T-53) : 5k run

First run since the mega training walk at the weekend.

14/04 (T-54) : Walk around the park

A 6k loop into the park and around the redways.  No lake diversions this time.

13/04 (T-55) : Just a doggie walk

After my mega trek yesterday,  a 14K walk with the dogs, incorporated an extra loop to stop by the river so Nyx could wash off having gone in the lake.

12/04 (T-56) : My biggest walk ever (so far ...)

I did the Milton Keynes Parks Trust 30 Mile Challenge (no doggies this time).  Although they say its a cycle route, I walked it.  Filling up with porridge, I started out at 6am and it took me just over 9 hours to complete (I had a few stops on the way for 2nd breakfast and lunch!!).  Comparing to what I'll face on the Yomp, I have it in the back of my mind that the weather was fabulous, the terrain was advantageous and there was only 200m of elevation gain overall.  Also interesting that my Strava ended up recording 57K when 30 miles is 48K !!!

11/04 (T-57) : Morning run with Wolfie

A 6K run with Wolfie.  He loved it.  Remembered to charge the headphones this time.  Good track : Drop the Pilot, Joan Armatrading.

10/04 (T-58) : Evening walk in the sunshine

A nice 7K loop with Wolfie and Nyx.  They both enjoyed lots of splashing in the river.

09/04 (T-59) : Morning run

12k run for yomp training.  Initially on the red ways and then into the woods.  Sacrificed a bit of pace to take a few snaps along the way!!  Even though MK is relatively flat, there was still an 87m elevation gain over the distance.

08/04 (T-60) : Evening walk

So nice now that the clocks have changed.  Managed to sneak in a 7K walk with the Wolfie and Nyx, and caught this snap of the night sky looking out across Buckinghamshire.

07/04 (T-61) : 11k morning run, into the sunshine

A relatively flat run compared to Devon.  Headphones were on low battery so left them at home and just turned the volume up :-) Good track : Cat People (Putting Out Fire) - David Bowie

06/04 (T-62) : A late afternoon walk with Wolfie

Now back home, a 14k walk in the spring sunshine.

05/04 (T-63) : Morning run in Devon

A 14k run on my last day Devon (for now).  Making the most of the elevations!

04/04 (T-64) : River walk

On our last day in Devon (for now), a nice 5K loop in the evening sun, taking in the river.  Wolfie enjoyed the paddle in the water.

03/04 (T-65) : Evening walk

Just a light evening walk following yesterday's trek.

02/04 (T-66) : A lovely evening walk in Devon with Wolfie.

13K walk with overall 296 m elevation gain.  Quite minor in comparison to what the yomp will offer but it all counts !  Countryside in abundance with birds singing.

01/04 (T-67) : Early morning run in Devon

Roll on the tunes.  Memorable track : Stand By Me, John Lennon

31/03 (T-68) : Evening stroll with Wolfie

Start off the training with a relatively light evening stroll with Wolfie.
