1. You can’t end a walk at 9.8 miles; it has to be 10.I don't recognise this. I usually have a target for the day, around which point I start to look for an appropriate camp spot. That can be slightly before, but preferably somewhat past my original target.
2. You have a drawer dedicated solely to walking gear. Many of my "normal" clothes are abandoned outdoor clothes that I don't find good enough anymore for the outdoors. Because let's face it, clothes for walking in town are a lot less critical for your survival. I don't have a dedicated drawer for walking gear. It's more that I have a small corner for the normal stuff. And most of my camping/ travel stuff is spread out on the floor of a bedroom that I don't use for easy overview and selection of the things I need
3. You can convert a range of distances without a calculator.Yes, I can. Although being from Europe I tend to think in kilometers rather than miles.
4. Sunday mornings are earlier than Monday mornings.I haven't worked for years, so for me there isn't really a distinction between days of the week, except when I need to pick up a resupply package from a post office or something.
5. You know exactly where a mile from home is in every direction.This is true.
Richard’s list: 1: when you start thinking about possible new routes whilst lying in bed at night Not really
2: when you have a cupboard full of walking gear, and it spills over into the garage. It's already spread out over the floor in my 2nd bedroom
3: when your partner starts grumbling about the amount of gear that you have - "Do you really need that 4th tent/rucksack/whatever?" N/a.
4: when holidays have to have a walking related element to them. In the last 6 years, all my holidays were either birding or walking and preferably a combination of both (because it IS a great combination!)
5: when you squeeze in a walk on business trips or family visits. N/A, but yes I would squeeze in a walk or some birding or both, on any trip I make
