Here we are, then. Just one month to go until the end of 2016.

It’s inevitable that I’ve already achieved my personal target of eight-hundred miles. But, with weekend of flooding across the local region and a sharp drop in temperatures to sub-zero; how much walking did I manage in the month that was November?

Circuit of Bath Walk 2016 (Part 1)

Leave a comment Posted by on 17/11/2016

Sunday 25th September 2016

This would be my third attempt at the Circuit of Bath walk since 2014, as I opted to participate in a different event on the same day last year.

It’s an annual event organised and in support of the charity Julian House. For my third year, I would again be looking to tackle the full twenty-miles of the circuit that surrounds the city.

I feel like I was writing August’s post only yesterday! That dreaded C-word is only lurking closer. Very soon, it’ll be 2017!

#Walk1000Miles – July 2016

Leave a comment Posted by on 01/08/2016

I immediately feel as though this past month is going to be one in which I’ve ‘under-achieved’, when it comes to my overall mileage…

That’s in spite of recent attempts to ‘boost’ my tally over the weekend now behind us and, of course, the time I spent down in Cornwall.

Mendip Challenge 2016: 30 Mile Route

Leave a comment Posted by on 10/06/2016

This is the first post in a series of three that will document the route of the Mercury Mendip Challenge.

In this post, I’ll share only the first ten-miles of the full-distance challenge. It’s worth noting that this section is commonly regarded as being the most challenging and is exclusive to the thirty-mile walk.

#Walk1000Miles – February 2016

Leave a comment Posted by on 29/02/2016

Here we are at the end of the second month – a unique one, here in 2016; where you might otherwise be reading this on the 1st of March, as a consequence of the Leap Year.

This is another brief post to look back at the miles I’ve covered in February and my progress so far in 2016.

Circuit of Bath 2014

Leave a comment Posted by on 04/10/2014

Already, it’s been six-days since I completed my second successive Circuit of Bath challenge. I didn’t take quite as many photos on this occasion – or, to put it another way; I didn’t photograph quite as much – because you’ll have already seen so much of it from last year’s event. But I hope you enjoy what I do have to share.

It began on a misty Sunday morning, near Lansdown…

The Circuit of Bath is an annual fundraising event in support of Julian House. I’ve chosen to walk the full 20-mile circuit where as you can walk as little as 2 miles if you’d prefer.
