    How about two five mile walks with lunch in the middle? ;) It's not that far... honestly... only about 3 hours...

    I've found a 3 mile and a 6 mile walk - so we could do one and then the other!!

    ETA - just found a 9 mile one too!

    Hmmm - how about the 3 mile walk, lunch and then I head home? :D

    sounds silly but . . . my house is a mess. Like really bad. Started sorting clothes a few hours ago. Thrown things away, put winter clothes away...blah blah blah. My fella is home in about 30 mins. he hates mess. He asked me to clean b4 he got back. It now looks worse. Do i fiish the one room i started and make it gleam and show my good work in one room, yet there isnt a knife clean, or do i scoot round the whole house and try to make it look a bit better??

    I'm up for the 3 mile walk then lunch somewhere, or lunch then a 3 mile walk! - really couldn't manage much further than that though, I'm afraid :o Whereabouts are you looking at starting from greenbee?

    I walk about a mile. But BB being a springer probably does 4 times as much! I also spend time standing still and throwing things.

    soappie suggested brockenhurst, so I did a search and found some walks there. We can probably find something wherever we meet.

    I suggest walk first, then lunch, otherwise we won't actually do the walk! And then, when you're all recovered, I'll try to talk you into doing another one ;) 3 miles is about an hour at a fairly relaxed pace.

    Looks good Greenbee!

    We could actually meet at Brockenhurst if Frodders wants to come by train and walk that little extra bit....
