In this post, I’m collecting together a few walks from our campervan travels.

Revisiting and revising some of our walks – we may even try something new?

Our regular weekly walks fell by the wayside in 2023, but with new work arrangements now in place, we’re going to get back to it. We’ll be revisiting some of the 52 walks from our original ‘year of walks‘ walking project, and hopefully adding some more.

Having hit our walking project target of completing 52 different circular walks, we’re revisiting a few from the list – particularly those where the pub lunch options were closed due to lockdown first time around!

Back in November 2020, in the midst of a national Covid lockdown, we set out to do a different circular walk each week. At some point, this turned into a project to complete 52 different walks (one for each week of a walking year) and to document those walks on this website. Well, given (thankfully) all the disruptions of a return to a more normal life, it has taken us almost two years. But this week we achieved our target!

Just 2 walks to go to hit our target of completing 52 different local-ish circular walks. We didn’t make much progress in late July or August owing to holidays – a big European rail trip and our usual summer family visit to Ireland. We did notch up a couple of walks in County Antrim, and then our penultimate local walk project outing when we got back… almost there!

Another break in our weekly walking program during early June, with interruptions including a Killers concert and university open day. But as we get back to business, we have just 4 walks left to hit the target of 52 walks in our big circular walks project.

April was a poor month for our walking, albeit interrupted mostly for good reasons – holiday, Easter, and family visits. For the first time in two-and-a-half years, we even managed to leave the UK with a long weekend in Amsterdam and Antwerp. We did manage to log a decent (not really circular) walk during a trip to Norfolk, which doesn’t really count towards our local walks project. We got back to that in May.

After a couple of missed weeks due to work and travel, we got back to the walking project in the middle of the month, just as Spring made a timely arrival.
