    4/29 = I crossed the Brandywine Bridge, stayed at the Bridge Inn and I am on the road to Buckland, just a couple miles from High Hay.

    I have surpassed my April goal of 50 miles with a total of 53.15 miles and still have 2 days to go until the end of the month! It's going to be hard, but I am going to try to get hit the 60 mile mark in the next two days. I need to think of what my May milage goal is going to be....???

    Stupid twisted ankle. Worse than the pain and swelling is the lack of exercise. Haven't been able to walk for two days.

    cpanus - congrats on your return!! Well done! Do you already have another journey in mind?

    nyingje - sorry about your ankle! Just do what the doctor says and rest it! Don't start waling to early, otherwise it will hurt so much longer (speaking from experience...)

    I have been away a few days, so was lazy in keeping track. Anyway, here is my summary so far, since I started one month ago:

    Total for April: 108.0 km (67.1 miles)

    I am just a few steps behind tmlandgraf :smile:

    Hi - I'm new to this group, but started my SLOW journey on 3/25/13. Yesterday I finished Day 3 and can see the trees of Woody End and am camping :)

    I'm using my treadmill and Walk Away the Pounds DVD (bonus, she states mileage) and have started bike riding around the neighborhood.

    5/6/2013 = 76.17 miles.....To the south the Old Forest ends. I have camped and am now continuing east at a leisurely pace. The most western slopes of the Barrow-downs appear far to the south (day 8).

    5/7/13 = Apparently I can't add correctly, I have actually gone 85.87 miles, not 76.17 miles. So this puts me as just completing Day 8: Continue east at a leisurely pace. The most western slopes of the Barrow-downs appear far to the south. Barrow-downs continue. Between the Road and the Downs is the hedge. Reach Bree. Stay at The Prancing Pony. Spend a late evening.

    5/8/13 = I have completed day 9 and I am a third of the way to day 10 - Stay at the inn much of the morning. Then skirt BRee-hill and turn east. Reach the South-gate of Bree. Leave village and ride east on the road. Camp next to a trail leading north into Chetwodd on Bree-hill. Ride east at a leisurely pace. Road runs ESE skirting Chetwood.

    My twisted ankle is slowly getting better. I am walking every evening again. It is only a couple of miles but at least I can walk.

    I have a stress fracture in my left foot, so the last week has been really slow. Here's my totals:

    05/20/13 = Finished Day 11 - 113 miles = Left the Forsaken Inn early. Ride south along the road at a comfortable pace. Reach the east edge of the Chetwood. Scattered farms to the south. Begin to see the Midgewater Marshes off to the northeat. Camp.
