Oh goody. New interest!
Been out walking around museums and galleries all day. Just a few short rests to sit down.

I just realised, in a little over two weeks it will be British Summer Time, as the clocks go forward.
Better get moving!

Count me in - I like to walk for at least half an hour a day. Better get the pedometer out!

Well, I got off to a good start - after a very foggy morning the sun came out at lunchtime, so I went for an unexpectedly long walk. I started off going to my mum's local shops but they didn't have what I was looking for so I ended up making a detour into town. Over an hour and a half of walking later I notched up 10,500 steps! Good job I remembered to wear my pedometer isn't it :)

I walked through woodland, over sand dunes, along a beach. Just two short breaks in the two and a half hours it took. Sat enjoying the sunshine for no more than 5 mins each stop.
Still the activity tracker, a.k.a electronic tag, has only registered 4416 steps, and is currently showing the red line which means get up and move your backside. I am ignoring that as my theory is that it did not register the steps I took on the sandy beach. I know I excelled all my expectations today.
Sore, but happy.

@Pipp I had a great walk this week. Wells-next-the-sea towards Holkham along a muddy stony track, then the long way back along the beach. I reckon walking on sand should count double! Where can I get a pedo-thing from?
