It's sunk in a bit now and out of the initial sadness I have started looking through old posts.

I once had an idea to walk the route as sung in Mr Fox's 'The Gypsy'. Two grand things came from that thread. I got in touch with Bob Pegg to go over some details and found him one of the most helpful and generous people I have encountered. Second was Diane offering to join me -

I love mad ideas! In early April this year I walked the Hambledon Drove Road section of the Cleveland Way and part of the Lyke Wake walk.

I'm up for this one. We could all have Mr Fox on our walkmans...and try and make the overnight stops at pubs with music.



I really wish I had done it now but, when I do, I will certainly take Diane up on the Walkman idea and have a pint or two for her as well :-)

There were many others and lots of PMs, far too many to mention. But I shall reflect and remember her fondly as one of my mentors and a fellow spirit in not suffering fools gladly.

Cheers Diane, I am sure you would know what I am referring too!
