2021 Challenge

Challenge:	At the start of the year I spotted a challenge in the Country Walking magazine, to complete 1,000 miles by the end of 2021. This target was achieved in August so I set another target of 500 miles by the end of the year. This was achived just before Christmas Day.
Start Point:	Mainly from home and in the local area
Distance:	1,520 miles	Ascent:	112,900 feet
Time:	527 hours
Weather:	Some very cold spells, some very wet spells intermixed with changeable conditions.
Comments:	Already a keen walker, looking after my daughter's dog 3 or 4 days a week ensured that I did 2 walks every day. This meant that it was quite easy to achieve an average of more than 4 miles a day. A week's walking holiday and a few longer walks further afield made up for the odd days that I didn't walk. Below are a selection of photos taken during the year.
