Your flexible friend

#walk1000miles is nothing if not flexible – you can do it anywhere, you follow no prescribed route, you can have the days off you like, the sights you see and things you experience will be unique to you. Yet you will have one thing in common with every other challenger: the gradual accumulation of miles; objective, fixed, unperishing miles which once built up can never be taken away. Not one millimetre of them. And what a giant undertaking all the miles add up to – all those morning walks, the lunchtime halfhours and weekend adventures. To measure your progress on a literal map of Land’s End to John o’Groats (and get your gorgeous Completer Medal when you finish) sign up to Walk 1000miles+ for £12.99.
