    ohh storm you have me intrigued how do you know how far youve walked? i'm a scenery walker as well ...how far to you increase your walk at a time do add say 1/2 mile on at a time or like i was advised (and will be following ) add time on i'm gonna start with an hour at a time then maybe one and a half and add on like that i'm gonna try and walk twice a week will that be enough? all these questions i bet you wish you never said anything now lol ...anyway 5 mins left then i'm off starting to feel the nerves again i knew i was addicted but this is bad

    I have a couple of books that I got in charity shops of walks in the area & I'm also a member of a local walking group (sounds a bit naff, but good fun!) The walks are pretty well planned out and I know the miles before I start. I'm still reading through my Lonely Planet 'Walking in Scotland' book that I bought to prepare for September, the only problem being I think I could spend the whole summer up there! There are websites as well, to get routes from, but haven't managed to find a free one yet...

    Oh lenny!!!


    Elantan & Storm- my mum did the 3 peaks at 55 after losing 5 1/2 stone at weight watchers and she puts me to shame lol. She has inspired me though and I walked up a bit of Beacon Fell today holding my blooming son (all 28lbs of him) but dd ran up it - so fabulous! :)

    Think they're going to sleep well tonight :)

    Hi elantan, wow, you've been busy - very impressed with your healthy eating and exercise. I'm doing crap, I'm walking loads but I'm starving all the time - and how come you never think 'Ooooh, I could murder an apple', nooooooo, it's always crisps, chocolate etc....

    I daren't weigh myself this week lol - need a serious kick up the bum. I think I'll try and make something healthy for tea and get Stu to hide anything that remotely resembles chocolate.
