Going for a walk

Just the 4 mile today. Really dawned on me that I’m getting sick of walking local. Can’t wait to get away with the dogs, surprising how much better a walk can be when everything is fresh on the eyes

Dog gets one walk a week? If so, poor bugger.
I've walked a lot most of my life. Often with dogs but frequently in human company as well. Not really for exercise, mostly for the pleasure of the walk and the inevitable conversations. i will do nine or 10 walks most weeks. If with the dog then never less than 10 miles and sometimes about 25 or so. Sounds a lot but it really isn't.

I have taken my Beauceron dog, Ragnar twice on the Camino to Santiago de Compostela (750 kms. and 5 weeks or so). We loved it. I have done the Roman Wall several times (East to West). Cold, windy and wet but still a pleasure. I also walked long stretches of the Kennet and Avon Canal too (some nice pubs), and the Entre deux Mer with Ragnar some nice stops for wine and grub.

I am not a striding walker, mor of an ambler. Drives Ragnar crazy.

Home. What a cracking walk that was and conditions just about perfect albeit a strong wind from various directions. Wheatley Hill to Ryhope (Return). 20.04 mile. Wheatley Hill > Shotton > Haswell > South Hetton > Murton > Seaton > Ryhope. 6hrs 45 mins. 20.22 mins/mile. Elevation gain 1053ft. Enjoyed that. It also takes me to just over 200 miles of outdoor walks so far this year.

Anyone done the harians wall walk? Looks very doable, 84 miles, perhaps 5/6 days. Watched the Robson Green documentary on it but it was more about Robson Green than the walk.
