Walking Group check in.
Good morning. It rained all day yesterday so there was no walking done. Today looks better, the sun is out. I've just done a quick calculation of my miles, and I have fallen below the target of 749 for the first nine months of the year. You might think I have done a lot of walking while on holiday, but that didn't happen. I did some but not enough to increase the mileage by any significant amount.
So what's it like for walking on the Outer Hebrides? The landscape is very beautiful, the scenery is amazing, but there are some very long straight roads which would not make for pleasant walking. Long and straight with not many interesting features close to the roadside to see would be pretty boring. Lovely when viewed from a moving vehicle, or stop to take a photo, but I like to have something interesting and pleasing to look at. There is also a lot of water, so that limits it a lot. I am not a fan of sinking into boggy bits.
Yes, I walked on the beaches, walked around churches, stopped to view interesting historical sites, but covered very few miles. My one totally walking day while I was at Stornoway was eight miles, all the rest were drive somewhere, get out and have a look around. Not what I would call proper walking. I did strike out a couple of times, and walk a bit further, when I had viewed the Calanais Stones, and a walk around the woods at the Castle. Oh, and once when I had camped up at a site. I set off down a quiet road because I felt the need to stretch my legs.
The target for the end of September is 749, I am at 741. Not that much short, but I need to do some extra walks to catch up. The target for the end of October is 833. I'm sure I will reach that, unless it rains every day from now till then.
So how have you all done. Over to you. Your turn.
Autumn is here so let's have an appropriate pic from the archives. This is a front garden in our village.
