Latest update on my (virtual) Lands End to John O'Groats walk. I know I'll forget to post tomorrow (the last day of the month) so updating today.
This month I managed 145 miles, which is my highest total so far. Had a few days away mid-month which let me get some extra walks in.
This takes me to 845miles total and, were I actually walking the #LEJOG route, I'd be just outside Linlithgow, to the west of Edinburgh.
Less than 350 miles to go! 🦵

Back in 2003, I walked 1111 miles from Land's End to John o'Groats. As you do.
21 years later, I've been interviewed by LEJOG legend Dave Felton for his new monthly podcast, LEJOGcast.
We had great fun, and I think it shows! I hope you like it.
You can listen to the podcast here:
And you can read the full story of my own walk here, where you can also find loads of information for those thinking of doing this epic walk themselves:

Started a new challenge this weekend, where I'm doing a virtual walk from Lands End to John O' Groats (LEJOG) in the UK.
To be clear, I'm not actually walking this route. Instead I'm keeping track of the distances I do walk and mapping the miles onto the #LEJOG trail in #QGIS.
I want some motivation to keep walking through the winter months and thought this might be a fun way to do it.

I was scrutinising a #BikeTouring rig outside a cafe in the #LakeDistrict yesterday. Turns out it belonged to a young person #CycleCamping the #LEJOG over a 5 week period. Their humility, enthusiasm and friendliness quite restored my faith in (some of) humanity. I hope the weather stays fine for them.

Who wants to watch two lads having a joyous time #cycling from Land's End to John O'Groats?

Also, I haven’t bragged about it here but I did it! I cycled the whole Great Britain, from Land’s End to John o’ Groats, 1716 km over 20 days.
Along the way, I’ve written 18 posts with impressions from the road as I went. They’re in Polish, but Google Translate should do a decent job.

Bit of a push to update https://nickmp.com: #hugo, #GitHub Pages, and an autodeployment via #GitHubActions from a private repo. It works! It's very old! But far less clunky than a manual deployment.
Also, I updated #LEJOG #cycling .gpx files to RideWithGPS, with links. (BikeMap.net seems to have deleted my old routes.)

Inside West Suffolk's (UK) Maglia Rosso is the signed jersey from Graeme Obree's one-hour record in Oslo, a preserved Penny Farthing from the 1880s, and (what I think is) the owner's completion jersey from the LEJOG (Land's End to John O' Groats).
Beautiful place!
