This Morning myself and Charlie did our thousandth mile , I started recording the mileage on the 31/01/18 and it has taken 43 weeks and that works out of an average of 3.3 miles per day . I missed recording any miles on 9 days - due to illness, bad weather and travelling to and from holiday . I've only recorded mileage when I've been walking the dog so going round to the shop etc . has not been noted.
Here is my co-walker Charlie (posing nicely for once) being a Spaniel he has probably done at least 1,500 miles with his constant toing and froing . I am going to continue recording our mileage till the end of the year to see what the final total will be .
I thought I would take a photo to commemorate of 1000th mile , so took my camera with us . Unfortunately there was nobody about to take the photo so I had to balance the camera on the top of a field gate and put the timer on . This is about the fourth attempt (and not a brilliant one at that) - it fell over about twice taking shots of the sky and another that was very blurry and there was the problem of keeping the dog in shot (his interest in the project was waning after the second failure) so that is why I have a worried look on my face. I'm pleased I've done it and will give it another go next year.
Very well done sir! Though I fear you may have underestimated Charlie’s mileage!
ReplyDeleteYes he covers far more ground than I do !
DeleteWell done both............ and may I compliment you on your Barbour, that is how they are meant to look.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like the dog has chewed it ! , there are murmurs of a new one for Christmas .
DeleteExcellent - well done, sir - I regret that i rather fell by the wayside this year, but hope to do better!
ReplyDeleteThe important news is.... do you feel better for it?
Yes I do think so , can walk up hill whilst talking now .
DeleteFantastic! Congratulations Tony.
ReplyDeleteThe second 500 seemed to go faster than the first !
DeleteCongratulations!
ReplyDeleteCongratulate that man (and his dog!).
ReplyDeleteWell done Sir.
Yes couldn't have done it without him !
DeleteWell done you two! Does that average out to something like an hour a day most days? I've been after myself to up my walking time. Maybe I'll shoot for 500k in 2019.
ReplyDeleteWe are usually out just over an hour - hour and a half , which includes going for the paper and gossiping .
DeleteWell done, and if all your walking has been in places as picturesque as the one in shot, it will have been good for the soul as well as the body!
ReplyDeleteS. Lakes can be picturesque in between the rain showers and I am certain it benefits you mentally .
DeleteA great achievement! more power to your elbow, or should that be your knee?
ReplyDeleteThanks think I might do it again next year .
DeleteWell done sir...
ReplyDeleteAll the best. Aly
