I’ve started walking again. I did it last year to help when I was losing weight and really enjoyed it, but it somehow seemed to tail off during the winter. I guess that’s because I couldn’t go out at night, but no excuse for not going out at the weekend. I do however like, on Saturday and Sunday, to get out first thing, usually between 6.30 and 7, and walk for about 3 hours. That means I can do about 12 miles on each of those days. That added to walking during the week last year (every day except Wednesday) meant I was covering about 45-50 miles a week. Now that the light nights are back with us I really do need to start getting out after work, assuming I don’t have to work late. Me and a couple of friends have discussed doing the Lyke Wake walk, www.lykwakewalk.co.uk or www.lywake.org.uk for details, but I really do need to be doing those sorts of distances again before I think about tackling that. I’ve never walked anything like 42 miles in a day before, but there’s always a first time
