Dear reader
The end of a dismal two weeks of a lack of exercise due to glute and lower back issues, but at least my osteopath is £100 better off! Hope you're managing in spite of the rain, wind and darkness - my wife says it was ALWAYS sunny when she was growing up on the IoM! That's global warming for you...
Nothing at all walking related to report so I thought I'd give you a run down of my PW performances so far:
2009 - Peel
2010 - Peel
2011 - Kirk Michael
2012 - Ballaugh
2013 - Jurby, and I think I could have made it to Bride but there didn't seem much point as I wasn't going to finish - is this the WRONG attitude?
Now you're probably thinking it's got to be Andreas in 2014 and Maughold in 2015... am I right?
WRONG!
2014 - injured changing the sheet on my daughter's bed then compounded by a pulled hamstring 2 weeks later - never been the same since
2015 - Rushen - oh dear, going backwards but it did have other advantages that I will tell you about next time...
Till then, Bannaghtyn y Nollick

Almost time to register...
Dear reader
The nights are dark and cold so that means it's almost time to get online and register for next year's Parish Walk - exciting!
I was actually oscillating about entering next year as I have a hamstring / glute / lower back issue and then I was asked to blog - what an honour - and here I am.
Allow me to introduce myself please. My name's Alan Gosschalk, I'm 50 years old, live in North London and am married into a Manx family. I have two brothers-in-law who have both won the Parish Walk - can you guess who they are? - as well as one who hasn't!
I am not just saying this to endear myself to you but I love the Isle of Man, and I LOVE the Parish Walk. It's such a great community event and I am genuinely in awe of the superb athletes who complete it. Next time I will get onto my PW history and my planned training schedule but for now fastyr mie and don't forget to register on Tuesday.
