Who said "SEVEN" was a lucky number?

Well this is my 77th posting of the year, and I use it to announce that on the 7th day of this week we hope to complete our 7th "team" training walk.

Hopefully, we will be able to walk further than the 77 km that Matt, Rob & I walked on our sixth walk, but who knows?

This time we will attempt the South Downs route itself, starting at 9am on Saturday and finishing at 7pm (ish), before repeating the distance on Sunday.

It is also somewhat strange that given that when walking as a four, most of the time we do so as two pairs, (An old 'un and a young 'un, albeit in different combinations!) and that the average combined age of each pair is 77 years, 7 months, 7 weeks and 7 days!

So with so many references to the number "SEVEN!", I had thought that this was destined to be a very lucky weekend.

However, despite all previous training walks having been - as has been well documented - rain free, the forecast for this weekend is less promising.

After months of drought like conditions, rain is most definitely in the air. But how much will we get? 7 mm? 7 cm? Or...will we be in 7th Heaven again?

Find out in a few days....
