Since 2022, is just about over it’s time repost my favourite walking photos from the year! It was yet another year, when I walked over 1,000 miles!
Also still can’t believe that Cooper is not longer with us… Miss him each and every day! Life has never been the same without him!!
Of course, since losing him. Bugsy has come into my life! Who, I’ve also falling in love with!
All these and many more can be found at www.gordon-valentine.com/zenphoto/me/2022/
Next year, Bugsy, Mark G (house mate) and myself will be walking The Dales Way! It will be my biggest adventure, since doing the End to End cycle back in 2009!
The Dales Way runs for 80 miles from Ilkley in West Yorkshire to Bowness-on-Windermere in Cumbria. We will be doing the whole walk in one go! Not like other long walks, that I’ve done, which have been done over weeks, months and some even years!
In the next week, or so, we’re going to do a test day. Doing one of link routes. We have picked the Harrogate one, which covers a distance of 16.5 miles!
So looking forward to this, BIG adventure with him!!
We are only 12 days into November and look at all places Bugsy has walked already!
All going well before the month is out, will do at least another 2 or 3 days of the Leicestershire Round… Plus doing a test day of The Dales Way. Just to double check that Bugsy and myself can do the whole route, in one go next year…

It’s International Dog Day 2022! So here are some photos of my new best friend Bugsy! Oh and don’t worry Cooper, I will NEVER, NEVER forget you!
Cooper may have passed anyway, a good number of months ago now. But still miss him each and every day. Can’t get my head around it. Still in mourning… Every time, I think I am getting use to him not being around, something sets me off…
Life has just not been the same since he died! xx
But of course, having Bugsy has really helped me! He’s starting to be great fun to be around! Can’t wait to go on many adventures with him…
Here are some photos of Bugsy….
