I just finished walking the St. Cuthbert's Way-62 miles from Melrose in Scotland to Lindisfarne in Northumberland. This time last year I was 86lb heavier and too unfit to manage much activity, with high blood pressure and arthritic knees. I now have healthy blood pressure and am much fitter and over the last week I have seen places and done things that I never thought possible. The arthritis still causes problems but I carried ice packs to use when we stopped to eat!! I wasn't about to let it stop me.
