I’ve parked on the roadside on the A5092 just opposite Norfolk Island ,& I could see these young uns prepping up,  It seemed they were determined an owd lad like me yes 35! would not pass them & for a while they where setting a hasty pace ,but I knew at one point they had to stop ..& they did, & that’s where I passed out, I mean got the chance to pass them!

With me I like to set my own pace ,I don’t know if its fast or not because a lot of the time I walk alone .Today i must of been marching & so were the young uns! Could I pass them, I had to wait until id passed them & was way out of site before I nearly fell knees first to the ground.
