… to walk 1000 miles in 2025
In 2024 I fell short of my 1000 miles by 42.4 miles.
2024 was a challenge for me with my mum being ill on and off throughout the year requiring stays in hospital. In-between her stays in hospital she had many medical appointments. By the end of the year this totalled 4.5 months of days where I was visiting, taxying and accompanying her for her appointments and stays in hospital.
At the beginning of October Mr C created a spreadsheet that helped me to catch up on my mileage. I was doing well until mum was once again admitted to hospital at the end of November. Although she is no longer in hospital, she is still not well enough to return home.
This latest hospital stay led to my mileage to slipping behind again and because of these circumstances beyond my control I am claiming my years walking a success and will complete the last few miles of my 2024 challenge in January.
As always there are highs between the lows which can be seen in my 24 photos (plus one) of the year 2024.
All the very best for your mum. Watching a beloved relative in pain feels even worse than our own pain. (Joe’s sister is in a stroke ward now)
Thank you
I hope Joe’s sister has a speedy recovery.
Wishing your mum a speedy recovery!
Oh, hang on, I recognise the Tulip Stairs
I hope you had a great time in Greenwich.
Thank you
The Queen’s House had be on my ‘To Visit’ list for many years. I wasn’t dissapointed.
Just do it.
I intend to
I know from experience it takes a lot to stick at it. I tried in 2020, and was well ahead of schedule in June, when one of life’s really difficult circumstances befell, and I no longer had the will to complete it
Life can (and does) get in the way, spoiling our intentions.
