We've walked a lot in Australia averaging around 8 miles a day.
Each walk we complete is a walk for Stephanie and a practice for the sponsored walk I'm doing on September 27th in the Chilterns for Bowel Research. I'm at 60% of my set target. I'd really appreciate it if you could share this post.
We can walk 3-4 miles just getting to and from places to start our walks.There's an excellent bus service from our accommodation and a great network of buses, trains and trams to get us around the city and to and from our sons and his girlfriends.
We're out by 9am and don't get back till late. On top of these walks we've also been out in the evenings.
I'll update the walks as the rest of our holiday goes on in Part Two.
So far we've walked 115.9 miles.
