2500 Miles Sept Update

Posted on the 08 October 2017 by Ashley Crombet-Beolens @Fromanurbanlake

September has proven to be my second best month, so far this year, in terms of walking distances, not only have I managed to keep the miles trotting through, but there was also my longest single walk to date, and Tolkien distances passed, but of course more on those later.

2500 MILES September UPDATE


Totals


September Total: 228.22017 Total: 1963

DONATIONS

Sadly no change in donations, seems my money raising for Birding For All is stagnating a bit, I'm not sure if it is my lack of promotion skills or the charity just not being one that is capturing the imagination, I suspect the latter a little as many people won't feel they have been affected personally.

Best Bits

A lot of my walking this month hasn't been traditional hikes across the countryside, sadly, mainly walks to and from work or school runs, but the totals do add up, however there have been a few highlights.
I guess the real highlight of the month was my 30 mile walk from Tring to Milton Keynes, not only because of the distance but also the lovely views along the Grand Union Canal.
Another months highlight, for me in my geekdom, would be the surpassing of a major milestone in overall miles, reaching the mileage that the hobbits walked in Lord of the Rings on their epic journey from Hobbiton to Mount doom - Leaving the Shire.
