My PF hasn't totally gone yet, but it has mostly gone. For the most part now, I'm not giving it a second thought as I'm wandering around, but every now and then, it just likes to twinge a bit and remind me that it's still there. Anyway, the next step in my Phased Return to …

Featherbed Top

Day One, 2.01 miles Backpacking at the moment feels a bit like a phased return to work. I'm trying to get out as much as possible, gradually increasing the distance and altering the terrain etc, in order to help The Foot along its recovery path.

Plantar Fasciitis And Me

This photograph of me was taken in 2016, on an unsupported, 8 day trip in Arctic Sweden. It has something about it that I really like. But the woman in that photo no longer exists.
