Yep it’s only the first day of 2018 and I’ve already been out walk while wearing a wetsuit! Of course, I am wearing the 2XU A:1 Active wetsuit, since it’s the only wetsuit, that I have with me!
Oh and I put the wetsuit on before setting off! So in other words, I did 30 miles of driving, with a 2 mile walk in the middle! So I was nice and warm, by the time, I got back to the house!
There of course, could only be one favourite walk of 2017! That would of course be the walk that, I did with Nick up Ben Nevis, which is the highest mountain in the British Isles!!
And just to show that we really did it! The route we took can be seen at www.strava.com/activities/1088565730.
Here are some amazing photos, from a truly amazing walk!!

That sure was a great 7.1 mile walk with Neil. The walk started and ended in Killearn. We left the village using the water track, then walked down to the Glengoyne Distillery, then walked along part of the West Highland Way, then up Station Road and back to the start point in Killearn.

I went for a great walk up the Campsie Fells, since it was a bit on the cold side, used my new 2XU A:1 Active wetsuit has a base layer…
My goal in 2018 is to walk at least 1,000 miles! Why not take the pledge yourself?? Sign up over at www.walk1000miles.co.uk.
For me it should be a walk in the park! Going by my Garmin Connect profile, I’ve already done 2,249 miles of recorded walking this year.
That’s me now done 891.62 miles of walking since, since 6th October 2016! Going by my Garmin Vivoactive HR GPS Smart Watch. So should hit 1,000 miles in the next month or so. Since right now, I am doing between 20 and 30 miles of walking every week! Yes, Cooper, is very well walked boy!
Now at 1,765,064 steps! So will get that to well over 2 million before the middle of the year. Also going up Ben Nevis in July. So that will end a good number steps!

Had a great mini walk around the Cheltenham Racecourse. Was only a short 2.6 mile walk, since we had to get back to railway station! Did not want to miss the last train back to Toddington!

Went out a great 6 mile walk for Cooper Day. Found this very nice looking abandoned Church in Denton, Cambridgeshire. Also found 5 geocaches during the walk. So now found 9 in the last number of days! 🙂

Today Neil and myself did another walk from the “Loch Lomond, the Trossachs & Stirling” book in the Pathfinder series. This time we did one called “The Whangie”
This walk was much short at only 3 miles. But it did give us great views over looking Glasgow and Loch Lomond.
