This subject came up during our lunch stop at Fur Tor yesterday.
The theme for the walk was Operation Market Garden, it being the 17th of September.
I mentioned that I had stopped chasing the 1000 miles a year target, I had set myself, having injured my groin doing so and was now focusing on one or two decent walks per week, rather than the 3 miles every day, mainly on hard pavement, plus one on Sunday regime, that chasing the miles had created.
Another member of our group mentioned that she had totted up around 2500 miles in the past 12 months, but being retired she had more time, as a way of trying to make me feel better. LoL
We then started talking about Arnhem and Operation Market Garden and our walk leader, asked if any of the group was alive in 1944. Turns out there was just one of the group around back ithen. Yes you guest it. She walks 2500 miles a year and has my total respect.
