I've got no personal interest in this site, but hadn't seen it before and
thought it worth a mention. This guy has logged hundreds of walks,
including a 'round the coast of Britain walk' - and it contains some good
photos.

Worth a look

Great collection of walks ......... but must have a brilliant job - or no
job but pots of money - to have the time to walk around Britain and across
the Counties of Britain. Some achievement ..... and with a dodgy ankle.

Cheers,

I have a reasonable job, a will to walk and a car. Oh, and an
understanding girlfriend is definitely a bonus ;-)

The real problem is not doing the walks (which are almost without
exception a joy), but the writing up of them afterwards - each one
takes hours and often it is like getting blood out of a stone.

My next long-distance walk will be even longer - I may have to wait
quite a few years before doing it, however. Planning walks is always
fun ;-)

Agree on the last, although fortunately my wife Clare loves walking,
although not snow, ice or wild camping, so we generally day-walk together.

I have similar problems with the post-walk task of sorting through 100 plus
photos and putting some words together for a route description. I must
admit the latter is often some days after the walk with a short comment with
each photo from the route.

Planning is all part of the walk experience. I spend hours reading maps on
an evening. Much prefer to sit and read a map than books or newspapers.
There is always a different aspect to a route if a slight deviation is put
in a 'used' one.
