I Would Walk 1000 Miles

Another quick catchup to let people know I’m still here. A few more members of my family have kindly donated some cash to the walk, bringing the current total to $200 plus £500. Please, please go to the How To Donate page and add to the total. Over the last few days I have been in Poland. Thanks to a good friend (and ex work colleague), I have been tramping around some lovely mountains and definitely broken my boots in. Thank you, Gosia! I have calluses where I’d normally blister, which is a good sign! I reckon we walked around 9 miles on Saturday, a lot of it along some very dodgy broken up stones, taking around four hours if you knock out the stops and photo breaks. Given that a lot of this was up some very steep hills, this is a good speed. Distances measured with the pedometer kindly supplied by Sheilah. I’ll be mainly plodding around cities for the next week or so before hitting the south of France. I expect to be doing a lot of hiking with Delphine while I’m there, which should also be good preparation.
