Look what arrived today!

About eighteen months ago I read a post on somebody's blog about Conqueror Challenges.  The challenges allow you to walk around wherever you like but compare your step count to making the same effort on a rather more interesting route.

So I decided to have a go.  I signed up for a five hundred mile virtual walk around the north coast of Scotland.  It has taken me nearly eighteen months of plodding around the house, garden and anywhere I happen to be, to do it.  En route I have had small rewards in the shape of e mail postcards of sites of interest along the way.

And now I have finished the route and I got my medal!  To be honest it will just get tucked into a drawer.

I think I chose the wrong challenge for me.  Five hundred miles over eighteen months was too far to keep my interest.  I shall wait a while before (if!) I buy another challenge.  And it will be well short of five hundred miles!

  1. Wow! That's a long way to walk! Even over the course of nearly 18 months. Well done!
