Ok Team, here we go.

Once week to go, and we are.... SIXTY-SIX PERCENT OF THE WAY THERE! We've walked a massive 681.63 miles together, that's 1,536,316 steps - you guys are AMAZING!





In terms of where we are, we've walked clear past Liverpool, and are now only a couple of miles from one of my favourite places in the whole country (possibly the world!), Bridgnorth.




If you don't mind, I'd like to give you a guided tour. We could find a nice country pub for lunch too! I've been to Bridgnorth a fair few times, its where my partner and I would love to live one day.

So, welcome to sunny Bridgnorth, a small town in the heart of the UK. You can either drive here (or walk, as we have), but you can get here on an authentic steam train, which pulls into the gorgeous station which has been kept in its 1940's style (with a very cosy little ale pub too!)






Bridgnorth is divided into two parts, High Town and Low Town, by the River Severn. Their named as such because, simply, High Town is much higher up than Low Town!




You can travel between the two on the perfectly quaint vernacular railway, or you can climb the steps all the way to the top.






As you walk up the steps, you'll pass some cute B&B's, and also the Theatre on the Steps, which is exactly what you think it is. Its a lovely local theatre, where you can see all manner of performances during the summer months. I once saw a stage performance of Stephen King's 'Misery' there - it was amazing!

Up in High Town, you can visit some small shops, have lunch in a nice little pub, or just see the sites. You never know, they might be hosting one of their 1940's events...





So, lets take a break in Bridgnorth, and rest our feet a while, before we hit the road again...

Damn it, I just realised my autocorrect changed a couple of the words in my post! It's a funicular railway, not vernacular!

*giggling* ...I figured it was just some weird/posh British way of saying funicular!!

Trust me, I'm anything but posh, ha ha. I'm from one of the more working class areas of England (my dad was a factory line worker and my mum was a school lunch/dinner lady), and my accent shows it! Luckily, it doesn't come across in my posts

Ok folks, I'm tallying up our total for the month, so if you haven't added your steps/miles/KMs yet, please do so asap and I'll let you all know later just how we did....

not that it will be much help, but May 31, I had 4524 steps, 1.98 miles it wouldn't let me add it.

I think you may have been trying when I was logged onto it, as I could see someone else logged in (but Google doesn't show you who it is). I'll add that on for you, and post the update in a couple of hours....

Ok, its a little overdue, but here is an update.



We're so close now! We just need to get that home stretch completed. We can do it, go Team Awesome!

I'm bumping this thread, as we're now at 87%, but only a couple of people are still adding.

I'm going to give this one a day or two more, and then call an end to it, I think. If people have lost interest in this one, then hopefully they'll join one of the new challenges. Hopefully...

Can i join this, if so should i go back to May 1st? I have a fitbit and have all the saved info.

We are starting 3 new ones really soon a short weekend one a longer one and a really big one can't remember where though
@BigChangeNeeded has the spread sheet of where we are going do we have starting dates yet ??

So, firstly, if you want to add all your May steps, that would be awesome!

I'm about to set up a week challenge, and a weekend challenge, but these will be independent of any dates/steps already used, so add up to what you like, and I'll post the new challenges asap.
