Best foot forward for 2023: a thread for walkers

[crosshatching]

Come and tell me all your walking adventure plans for the New Year. No matter if you're just making it around the block, walking the pooch or doing the Camino de Santiago.

I'll be exploring the countryside around me and hopefully a further afield, getting a bit fitter and hoping to meet some other local walkers.

Great walk yesterday. Our current tactic is to plan a route with a church 2/3rds of the way round and sit inside to have our biscuits and flask of coffee. It's true that this is confirmation of just how middle aged I am now but it's a welcome little rest!

52.7km last week, including some more sections of the canal - Thursday was the only day with weather too bad to walk, but we seem to be in a rainy spell now.

360.2 km so far.

Got to see lots of new born lambs on our walk today. On the left you can just about see a massive sheep who's climbed into the centre of the feeding trough and is trampling everyone else's food.

That's very sweet to see new lambs appearing 🐑🐑. 14km walk today through a lot of mud. I'm pretty tired now it's like running on sand. 44km in the last week, I can feel it stretching out a bit as spring arrives.

Just 28 km last week. Lots of lambs, and woods anemones joining the spring flowers.

388.2 km so far this year

Daffodils were out highlight ! But at least it felt quite mild - 10 or more

Gorgeous weather today, DH is away so I just did the local canal towpath.

We've had a few good walks recently, a lovely one by the coast yesterday. And saw our first ducklings a few days ago.

477.8 km year to date.

Great walk yesterday, the weather was lovely I actually took my coat off! We visited 2 churches, 1 coffee shop (a luxury in rural Norfolk) and a patch of wild garlic in the woods. On track with my 1,000 miles so far, hope to get ahead over the summer though.
