    New old guy

    You will get many answers to your question @puttster! You could plan ahead which legs to skip or you can walk a section and decide to skip the next stage or two and catch a train/bus etc. This is what we tend to do. Sometimes its because we had an extra rest day and we need to make up time...

    New old guy

    In life we make friends for an hour, a year or a life-time. I am a comparatively slow winter walker and met so many lovely people who would slow and walk with me for a bit (I walk with family so not a solo walker) and would hear so many fascinating stories or just idle chit chat for a...

    Walking Frances with 10-year old granddaughter

    To answer your questions - boys had a Kobo app so would read books that we downloaded prior to walking, plus music and played games. None of us used our phones (books/music) while walking - for no particular reason. We generally walked 20-25 km per day. One day we walked 10km (bliss!) and...
