    What a great idea! I both cycle and do a lot of steps every day. I went ahead and added my records from week one today and will update as the month progresses! Thanks for setting this up!

    So, here we go. Our first weekly update.

    Drum roll please...

    As a team, we have covered 183 miles in our first week! That's awesome, well done to you all!

    We're passing through the Cairngorms National Park, full of small towns, beautiful scenery, a few nice distilleries, and one or two castles!

    All the miles I've added to the total I've now coloured green, so late additions can be added when they're put on the sheet.

    I'll post another update at the end of week two, as we travel past the Cairngorms, and down through Scotland, and onto England.

    Beautiful!! I've never been to the UK, but I love the Outlander series of books and seeing these Scottish sites is exciting. Even virtually. :)

    Sorry, I am late to the walk. I just added my numbers. I forgot about the walk until just yesterday. But glad I am back, I loved the first walk.

    Thanks for adding, folks.

    I'll do a mid-week tally tomorrow to get a better idea of where we are.

    Ok, I'll post the mid-week tally later on today (in 6 to 7 hours time), so if anyone has any steps/miles/minutes etc up to yesterday, pop them on the sheet, I'll add them on, and we'll see what part of glorious Great Britain we're currently walking through..

    Mid-week update time!

    So, in 11 days, we have covered a grand total of 298.97 miles! That's 30% of the whole target!

    We've reached Edinburgh, a scenic and historical city.

    We've walked all the way through Scotland, and have now reached the stunning Durham Cathedral in the north of England. Whether you go to church for services, or are just a big history nerd like me, I think we can all appreciate the beautiful architecture on show here:

    Ok, this is the one week warning!

    Tomorrow will be one week from the end of the challenge, so be sure to add your steps to the spreadsheet, and I'll post a total tomorrow. Happy walking....
