A Tale of Two Very Long Walks
Summer 2004
by
Vernon
For those members not into extreme sports such as canyoning, white water rafting, suicidal mountain biking, parascending, or even plain old "interesting" soloing, there is still the oft forgotten art of putting one foot in front of the other and seeing where you end up!
Over this summer I have had two quite different walking experiences, the only real connection being their length.
The Statistics
Walk 1
| Country: | Slovenia |
| Distance: | 30 miles |
| Ascent: | 2000 metres |
| Time walking: | 18 hours or so, spread over 2 days |
Walk 2
| Country: | UK - Yorkshire - 3 peaks |
| Distance: | 24 miles |
| Ascent: | 1500 metres |
| Time walking: | 10.5 hours in one day |
Common Features
- Very sore feet!
- Excellent weather
- Mission accomplished!
- Good company and a good meal to end with.
The Detail
So, I guess the moral is, if you like walking why not come and join us - it 's not all biking, canoeing, skiing, caving……….
