Interesting walks

Has anyone done the west highland way? despite living at the end of it for 25 years I have never done it, but me and the wife decided we are going to do in July next year for our 50th

I used to walk home from town on a Saturday night, years ago.

Past the tunnel entrance, down Scotland road, up Kirkdale road, past Goodison park, down Walton Hall Avenue, and home.

God knows how I survived.

That's a great idea. Is it a recognised walk or did you just decide to do it?

It's more designed for pub crawls mate but us southerners can't drink though

but the sites are great, that said I swerve the old kent road. To be honest I work in London twice a week and tend to walk more in the Spring or Autumn

I cycled John O’Groats to Lands End when I was 19. Bloody awesome it was! Thought I’d add this.
But i do like a good walk too! Wanted to do Wainwright’s Coast to Coast but never made it. I did climb/walk up Scafell Pike which was ace too.

There's a group of guys at my work who do the WHW every other year but choose to do it in May so as to dodge the mighty midge.

Started walking THE LOOP yesterday. Stage 1 is actually quite near us - Erith to Bexley but following the Thames and Darent rivers, so not as short as it might sound if you know Kent - but we met a couple of retired teachers who had travelled from Buckinghamshire to continue where they left off.

Working on the Colorado Trail - 489 miles from Denver to Durango - in sections and bits. This last Sunday was Section 7 - 13 miles from Breckenridge over to Copper Mountain. Pass takes you up over 12,000 feet. Rain, sleet and wind, with no chance of a view off the top due to the weather, but a grand adventure nevertheless. Few photos that you should be able to click on for larger view.
