Hello everyone
I joined the forum due to my newly discovered enthusiasm for walking.
I'm not completely new to walking: I started when I was 1, and have continued doing it every day since....
I've just started on the 1000 mile challenge for 2018, and I'm enjoying it, even though, due to the rain and mud, I haven't ventured far. The challenge is 2.74 miles a day, or 19.18 miles a week, so when the weather gets better (did I mention yet that I'm a fair weather walker?!) I will do longer walks than the 3 mile ones I am doing pounding the pavements at the moment.
I'm looking forward to exploring some local areas as well as some further-flung ones. I'm based in Worcester so I have the Malvern hills on my doorstep, that'a a great start :-)
And I'm looking forward to getting fitter and losing some weight as well :-)
