Halfway : Medway Valley Walk So halfway through June, we’ve completed Walk 10 and are now halfway through the 20-20 Challenge. Its been a bit relentless in pace this month as I was keen to catch longer days, good weather and quieter routes. This walk was planned originally to be a 20 mile linear walkContinue reading “Walk 10”

Walk 9
The Forest Way : Three County Challenge. It’s been just under a week since Walk 8, but I’m keen to take advantage of the long days and calm weather. We have a motto in our house “Don’t be complacent” or “DBC” for short. So with memories of being soaked to the skin on Walk 1,Continue reading “Walk 9”
Walk 8
Bedgebury Forest & Pinetum My plan is to complete a 20 mile walk every 2 weeks to stay on schedule and have a small window for contingency. So Walk 8 should have been completed the last week of May. I’d been struggling though. My ocular migraines were back with a vengeance that week and withContinue reading “Walk 8”

I’ve always prided myself as being a great contingency planner – despite having to, ahem, “leave” the Girl Guides (that’s a story for another time..), I’m sure my friends,Continue reading “Walk 6”
Walk 5
Community spirit What can I say? Walk 5 will definitely be a special one. The wonderful sense of community spirit that stretched across all four corners of the UK reaching the Highlands, Wales, West Country , Norfolk and down to us here in Kent – and further afield still : Australia, Tasmania and Canada too.Continue reading “Walk 5”
Walk 4
Stay Home ; Stay Safe Just last week I wrote that I would be pausing my 20 20 challenge to ensure I met the government guidelines during the Covid 19 outbreak. Yet, here I am a week later writing about completing Walk 4. After my last blog, several people got in touch encouraging me toContinue reading “Walk 4”
Update
Just a short post to confirm the obvious. With the current lockdown in place, my walking challenge is on hold to ensure we follow government guidance to Stay Home during the Covid-19 outbreak. I am hoping to ‘catch up’ on the walks once lockdown ends, but as the timeline is undefined I am considering alternateContinue reading “Update”
