I stubbed my little toe on Monday. It blew up like a pork chipolata. Today its more like an unearthed bluebell bulb waiting for the Spring sunshine. Either way it’s not the sort of toe to go a long distance on at the moment. Which is a shame because today is the first anniversary of me beginning the End to End.<\/p>\n

From Land’s End to John O’Groats the things most people asked about were my feet. It seems to be a common assumption that if you’re going on a long walk it’s your feet that will suffer, hence the hundreds of foot based conversations. But my feet were largely fine. I was wearing Hannah\u2019s socks, as they\u2019d not worn out from her 2012 walk, and had a rotation of four pairs of boots. My Nike inspired mile nibblers kept my plates of meat more or less on the straight and narrow for 117 days and 1110 miles, and victory in sight.<\/p>\n

My next to little toe on my right foot does have a little ridge, not Striding Edge stuff, but it can niggle. It will rub a bit on a seemingly seamless sock and from time to time it did make an attempt to dramatise the foot related aspects of the walk. But the End to End is not just about feet.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a song: Head, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes. Join in when you remember how it goes.<\/p>\n

From Isaiah 49<\/p>\n

Sing joyfully you heavens, and rejoice you earth;
\nKeep singing you mountains!
\nGod is our comforter and will have compassion for all who suffer.<\/i><\/p>\n

We pray for all those we know who are suffering,<\/p>\n

and for all those we have heard about,<\/p>\n

and for the unknown ones\u2026<\/p>\n

In your mercy, hear our prayer.<\/b><\/p>\n
