A year-end summary
The 3 men have retired for Christmas and the New year so it seems a good point to wrap up the statistics. 2013 started very cold with lots of snow but come March we had a very early spring which led to an excellent Summer and a very late Autumn. So our walking was excellent and indeed we have virtually run out of marked paths now throughout Kent and Sussex - but NOT good pubs I hasten to add!Over the year we clocked up 372 miles of walking which makes a total of 634 miles since our first walk in March 2012. The longest distance anyone can achieve within the UK is the 837 miles between Lands End and John O'Groats so we have another 200 miles to do before we can say our preparation for this trek is complete!
Even better is the fact that this walking has caused us to walk UP hill for 37,702 feet during this year or 70,725 feet since inception. Mount Everest is 29,035 ft so we are now the proud owners of TWO mount Everest badges!
We will start a new Blog for the 2014 walks and hope that we continue to enjoy the countryside and find even more quaint little country Pubs in the year. You can find the 2014 log here... http://www.3amigoswalking2014.blogspot.co.uk/
