Good Job, Chris!
Thank you!
Did you sing 500 miles by the proclaimers while walking?
I swore and blasphemed a lot especially on the hills and whenever I checked the route and saw another one was coming up.
Good job on reaching 20 miles!
Thanks it was harder than it sounds
@Chris Nah but I do visit occasionally! It's where my missus is from so we go back to visit family. I'm currently living in my home-town in mid-Wales, which again, great spot for a walk!
Do your legs still feel like lead-weights today?
The walk was on Friday so on Saturday and Sunday they did which is why I wasn't able to make the London meet last weekend. @SJHIllustration recommended me some hamstring exercises to keep my legs from tightening up which helped a lot. At that point it was mostly the sunburn that was killing me because despite it being forecast for rain the sun came out about an hour into the walk and I got completely roasted lol. My fault really considering it'd been blazing sun every other day that week.
My knees hurt reading this
Seriously it felt like I’d been beaten up by the world’s hardest toddler who couldn’t reach above my knees

Excellent work Chris! I used to live near Hillsborough so I have an idea of the sort of trek you've been though!
If you do it again next year I'll do my best to support you! If I'm in the area maybe I'll tag along, get a Newgrounds Walk going lol

Thanks! Do you still live around Sheffield? I'll probably be doing it again next year because even though it felt like Hell towards the end it came with a great sense of achievement when it was over.
