A thousand unexpected miles

-

I began 2020 with no plans to do the #walk1000mi­les challenge. Suddenly the virus arrived and we found ourselves here in Wales in and out of lockdowns. So I started a two-mile circular walk from our house every day, plus a couple of local five-mile walks each week, then some actual country walking when lockdowns allowed. Having sat down and calculated my walks, I realised that I had walked over 1000 miles before the start of December. Quite a surprise! I hope 2021 will be kinder to all, and that we will all get out into the hills. Peter Fowler, Email
