Wendy's November Challenge
Pendle Dogs, one of my favourite local charities, are asking their supporters to do a £100 challenge this autumn. I'm really enjoying my walking at the moment so I have challenged myself to walk 100 miles in November including Pendle's 3 peaks, Weets, Boulsworth and Pendle Hill. It sounds dramatic but it's 5 miles on twenty days which sounds more reasonable.

Re: Wendy's November Challenge
I'd be there like a shot Wendy but unfortunately wouldn't be able to stay the course. Would it count if you accompanied me on bookie watch?

Re: Wendy's November Challenge
I bet Sally will be up for it. She is always looking for different routes to walk, I'll mention it.

Re: Wendy's November Challenge
Thanks Gloria. I'll certainly enjoy getting out in all weathers, I'm well stocked up with waterproofs! I've been trying to form a plan but it does depend on the weather, hills on good days and low down when it's wild.
One question for my sponsors....I take the dog for a walk round the fields at least once a day, should I add that distance to my daily totals? It's over three quarters of a mile so would help quite a bit towards my 100 miles.

Very true, and of course it's where Bruce came from! I hadn't thought of that.

Re: Wendy's November Challenge
I thought the weather might beat me today but it turned out to be better than expected... some of the time! Over 5 miles walked when I add in my morning trudge round the field with Bruce.
Tomorrow afternoon I'm looking forward to meeting up with Sally at Foulridge Wharf where she will join me for a circular walk to Salterforth via Hague and Kelbrook then back on the canal towpath. Another 5 miles or so.

Re: Wendy's November Challenge
I'm always grim...
Today Sally joined me for a circular walk from Foulridge Wharf via Skipton Old Road to Kelbrook, then up Vicarage Road and on to Salterforth, returning along the canal. 5.31 miles and a very pleasant walk. I must have been wandering around on my dog walk this morning as it was .89 of a mile.
Total so far 11.39 miles.

A shorter walk today of just over 4.5 miles, looking forward to a Weets ascent with Sally tomorrow.

Re: Wendy's November Challenge
It was a lovely day to be up Weets, the views were magnificent and the route new to me. I am not photogenic but it had to be done!!
Over 23 miles walked in 4 days so I'm on target and without pain.
