Practicing

In order to bring joy and amusement to everyone’s lives, Neil & I filmed a training diary as we went round on a training walk the other day:

And this was the route that we walked:

In the end, it turns out that this little practice walk came in at [...]

A walk in the park

After the great day out we all had walking around Malham on May Day, i’ve been asked to plan another training walk. Though this time not to include any surprises!
So this time i’m going to base it around the Wharfe Valley and part of the Dales way. As before anyone is invited to join me. [...]

Get On Your Boots

With less than four months to go until we walk 84 miles in six days, it’s imperative to start your training now.
You really don’t want to put your body to the test at the last minute.
So, get up and start walking!
I put together a music mix to inspire myself and thought I’d share it with [...]

Only 1 hour

The 80% targets that were recently agreed on by the G8 for reducing CO2 emissions are never going to work. The Governments are all going to wake up on 31st December 2049, the day before their home work is due in, panic that they haven’t done anything, claim they don’t care anyway and start [...]

You know the person I’m talking about: Someone who seems unlikely as a dedicated athlete, who can be seen at regular intervals doing some sort of aerobics whilst wearing workout clothes that don’t exactly scream “Elite! Watch me go!” Yes, [...]

A trial run? A scouting mission?

I’ve been invited to explore a section of Hadrian’s Wall ahead of next summer’s trek. It’s a scouting mission, if you will.
Not sure my knees will hold out, but there’s only one way to find out. Actually, there’s two, but I think I’ll just go for a saunter with a few of the [...]

Team Bandicoot Gets Active

I am sitting here with a not insignificant headache, trying to keep my eyes open after driving back from the Lake District. Two potential members of Team Bandicoot took Lucy and I scrambling up ‘Jacks Rake’, a short route very close to a part of the Cumbria Way we did a few weeks ago.
I have [...]
