First wetsuit photos of 2018!!
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!
My favourite walk of 2017…
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!!

Walk : Water track, Glengoyne Distillery, West Highland Way
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.
The full route we took can be found over at www.strava.com/activities/1331741555.
Campsie Fells in 2XU A:1 Active wetsuit
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…
I am going to walk 1000 miles in 2018!
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.
WOW we did Ben Nevis!!
Job done, we both climbed Ben Nevis, which is the which is the highest mountain in the British Isles!! Standing at 1,345 metres above sea level!!! We could not have had a better day for it!! Could see for miles and miles at the top!
I would say that doing Ben Nevis, is right up there with doing the End to End cycle!
And just to show that we really did it! The route we took can be seen at www.strava.com/activities/1088565730

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!
