Leg muscles settling down....

Day # 5.   Chichester to Littlehampton.

           An easy 20k. walk today in bright sunshine. Roads heavily traveled today, apparently with Londoners seizing the opportunity to enjoy a day away from the 'big smoke' while the February weather cooperates. Generally flat countryside enabled quite rapid walking progress. The leg muscle pains of the first couple of days have abated and I actually enjoyed a gentle stroll around Littlehampton this evening. On a jaunt such as this, one does tend to become somewhat fixated on the health status and well being of those two bony appendages south of the main body mass.           Spent an interesting half hour with Isaac, a middle aged regular at local pub around the corner from today's B & B. Apparently Isaac has just 'purchased' himself a wife from India. Only seen the photos so far of the bride. It seems that this has all been handled by a broker in New Delhi. Isaac takes "delivery' in a couple weeks time. He is still trying to work out how he going to explain his new status to his 5 grown up children! Good luck Isaac.
