Pat Trout Posts: 353 Joined: 28th Apr 2005 Location: UK | Posted at 19:09 on 2nd April 2014 Yes i understand it is as well Ruth, i think i will have both done, Bern has been briliant right from day one of his TKR, i supose perhaps its because we have always walked on Dartmoor , which is very rough walking, |

Pat Trout Posts: 353 Joined: 28th Apr 2005 Location: UK | Posted at 19:56 on 2nd April 2014 you are right Ruth, But we are not so sure if we will get back onto Dartmoor where we loved walking , as its a long way to travel and its going to be a while before i will be able to do long walks again, Still we have the Quantocks close by also plenty of coast paths, |
