    Hi @baby962 Welcome to the team, we're delighted to have you join :smiley:

    I've added you to the spreadsheet; it seems to take an hour or so for changes to appear, but you should be on there next time you check.

    AND.... we're off!

    Welcome to Australia, ladies and gentlemen. We start our walk in Torquay, where its currently a sunny 25 degrees. There are a few fluffy clouds in the sky, and there's a gentle breeze blowing through your hair.
    Let's get stepping!

    Hello fellow travelers. My name is Rosemary Leblanc and I’m a Professor of Archaeological Science. I am traveling the world with my Bernese mountain dog, Bonaparte, searching for clues to explain the similarities of building techniques around the world between 2630 BC and 400 B.C. While in Australia, I’ll be documenting evidence of early human migration from Southeast Asia. Here is a recent photo of Bonaparte. :)

    Thank you! I entered my steps. A little disappointed in today. Achilles tendonitis making it hard to get around but that won't last forever. Hope to do better tomorrow. Got goals. :)

    Bonaparte is very cute, sounds like you will have fun exploring together. I will travel with Howard my faithful racer tortoise. I may fly around to rest my feet when needed.

    Please stick with us? We're all going to have low days, and just a few days until you feel better will be fine since it's a month-long challenge.

    Saturday I have a 3 1/2 hour drive, then a 6 hour meeting for a event next month, then a 3 1/2 drive home. Not much walking for me tomorrow. Be behind already hurts from all the sitting that I will be doing. :neutral:

    Hinder schminder, even if you only get one day of activity in, you've got us that much closer to the finishing line :smiley:

    Don't stress yourself about entering any activity until you feel better. Your health always comes first. You rest up, and we'll see you at the finish line

    I've input your activity for today. You might have disappeared off screen to the right as there are now more of us. I've got a fairly big screen on the chunky old monster that is my laptop, and you just about squeeze on at the end, I need to scroll to see the others:

    If you still have problems, let me know your data and I can enter it for you :smile:

    Question: When we make progress will a new vantage picture be posted here or do we need to follow the progress on the site?

    Also, do we need to choose a persona and spirit animal to help us on the journey? Because FUN.

    I'll add our combined steps/distances to the site, and then I'll post a report and a picture of our new location in this thread, so we can all see where we are.

    And as for the cute pets and funky persona, totally up to you. Feel free to be as inventive as you like, its all about the fun here in Team Awesome :smiley:
