And in a couple of days time I probably will be because tomorrow I start the final two days of my Cotswold Way walk. I walk from Old Sodbury to Pennsylvania tomorrow and then on into Bath on Saturday. My walking companion has dropped out for tomorrow and I wouldn't blame them if my finalist decided against it for Saturday either.
Why? Well, the BBC weather forecasts on TV tonight (both local and national) show a great deal of rain due in the next 48 hours, with some areas (north of here) due to get a month's worth of rain in a morning. The forecast is for a lot of heavy rain in the region I am walking.
Until you check the Met Office report online as I did less than an hour later. It forecasts cloud all day. And the BBC website shows rain at around 2pm but for it to be cloudy and nothing worse for the rest of the day. As a precaution I have decided not to pack sun cream but I will pack a raincoat, just in case. Saturday, on the other hand, is a different story. All four reports are currently for heavy rain from early afternoon onwards.
I am resolved to continue, as these are my last two walking days before the end of sabbatical. My three month wait for better weather is over, I've run out of options. I may be gone for some time...
