I have just realised that this year will be first in 62 years that I have not seen the sea.:(
Not sure 2020 will be the first year, but at least one of the very few years that I did not summit any mountain Extremely sad about it.
Mind you, the nearest mountain is 1000km from where I live.
I still climbed ca 100km in 2020, vertical elevation gain, probably my maximum.
Been abroad - first time since around 1996 I think.
Worked anywhere except my desk at home.
Taken a flight. Normally I use planes several times a year (mainly with work). It would be nice to think we won't immediately return to pre-COVID levels of flying once we're all vaccinated.
Yes i think it's the first time i've not been overseas for a while... (actually 2019 i'm counting over the Kyle Bridge to Skye as overseas!)
Did get across the Menai Bridge to Anglesey this year, but i don't think i'm going to count that!
...spent even a single night in a bothy :(
...driven south of Lancaster or north of Moffat.
..been to Scotland. Really missed our planned trips to Orkney, Mull and few places in between.
First year i've not done an AL fell race since starting to race in 2015
Also first time i've not got into double-figures for fell races either (managed 9 of varying types, "proper" races, staggered starts, MapRun races)
I was thinking "visited the Lake District " but I realised I was there the first 3 days of the year - it just seems such a long time ago.
@llani boy - I have seen more of the sea than ever, but that's because it is only a mile from home and most of the year it's been one of the few options for a run.
Trying to think up something more interesting than I haven't lost a pair of glasses this year.
I shall get back once the brain is lubricated:)
Echo been in Scotland, our trip to Coll and Tiree cancelled. Also deflowered any virgins this year.
I have not been outside Cumbria all year - the furtherest I have been is Threlkeld, followed by towards Grange over Sands - for club runs; the most frequent place visited was Staveley, for Broga, but not since March. I have not driven since then. It is amazing how quickly the time goes.
I have not been able to warm toward the short of thinking that have exacerbated and prolonged the whole virus thing by not heeding the advice given them.
Neither have I got despondent by the changes of life style that I have had to accept, in fact in a perverse way I am finding the whole thing intriguing and I quite expect to have to learn to live with the changes to our life styles and the virus for years to come.
I have not driven the car as much as I’ve cycled/walked/ran. Had the MOT this am and it had done 4259 since last nye and I’ve managed a record 4321 (tempted to go out on the bike this pm...)
