    Default 25/26 12 2012

    A nice xmas and boxing day walk is planned for 25/26 December this year, weather permitting, from Moot Hall to Moot Hall. I am looking for people who don't believe in that little man and who don't have families to attend to, to witness my summits.

    I promise I won't bring a bike to carry and/or push...

    Fancy a 'double solo?'

    I like to do this really low key and literally walk most of it... Ultimately, I am not even too fussed about witnessing summits, as I will know that I have either done it or not

    I'm sure Dom had a similar plan, why don't you team up ?

    This has come out of Dom's plan... He doesn't want to do it... so now I have decided to do it in stead He may or may not come along for this little walk in a park

    I am planning for it to be a totally relaxed outing and would welcome any forumites and friends to join me for one, two or even all of the legs. As I said before, very much a walk for me, as I can no longer stabilise my ankle running downhill, so will be jogging the flats, walking the upas and downs... I do walk quite fast mind, so thinking I can pip just under 24 hours with a bit of luck.

    However, if I don't make it in 24 hours, it will have been a great walk with some friends and a great way to spend an otherwise boring and solitary Xmas

    I am serious, regardless of what people may think and certainly mad enough!

    I can ride my MTB through a mudbath for well over 24 hours without stopping, I can walk a BOB I reckon, but only if conditions are right

    It's a great idea, Hanneke, and I would love to do it but fear that even my ever accommodating missus would draw the line at this one.

    I think that goes for a lot of people, Nigel!
    I don't think even I could pull that one off.

    As I don't have a missus, or mister for that matter, I can... There must be some folk out there in a similar position, with either an acommodating partner or no partner or one that fancies coming along as well
