I am walking London to Brighton non-stop in a day.
I've registered and signed up, ( www.bhf.org.uk/l2btrek ) to walk roughly 100k / 60 miles from London to Brighton, in a day, next summer. Got to start training now to do it really.
Anyway, I'm doing this, and if you'd like to sponsor me, that would be cool, and if you don't fine. Either way, I'll be posting pics and updates :)

The further you go, the steeper it gets! Hope there's a pub at the end!

Ah, this thread won't die off. I'll keep posting training updates. :D
beford town hall steps rocky style ? hehe
I did walk 15-20 miles years ago with the cubs.. so know it's not so easy. errm guess headphones etc might make it go quicker.. how you getting back to london though ?
One small step (no doubt over a small pile of dog sh*t) probably won't have the same effect as Mr Balboa managed:
I work in the building on the left of the picture by the red car. :D
No, I won't be adopting the funny walk of a pro walker, I will have a fixed stride.
Walked 4 miles tonight, part of my training basically means leaving the bike behind and walking when I want to get someplace.
Last Saturday I walked 31 miles in 9 and a half hours, and burned roughly 4,000 calories doing it.
When I got in I had cod and chips, mushy peas, saveloy, chicken and mushroom pie. Waited a couple of hours until I had room, and ate Christmas pudding and custard. Come Monday morning, I'd still lost weight.
4 and a half months to go. I'm a bit aprhensive about this, hope I can do it.
Oh yeah, the organisers have had to move the start point, and that means they've added another 2.5 miles on! :-/
Although since you've lost that weight you don't look as intimidating as you used to (needs beef and Mohawk for that ;)) :p
there was tha ewan athlete bloke who had a certain free meal card for a restaurant (think gerkins) and he said he could eat loads of it without putting any weight on due to burning calories.
have to adjust things to what your burning off I guess :) did you change your diet also , or is that solely walking?
someone I work with ran 4 marathons and now in later life he says his knee's suffer due to all that running.
really wonder what I've taken on with this challenge, hope I can do it
bit tired now like
Average walking speed is 4 mph, so that means it would take 15 hours to do 60 mile without stopping.
Do you have to 'walk' it?
I think you'd do better cycling the route.
Half the time, less chance of sustaining injuries whilst still putting in similar energy and effort.
EDIT: Just read the link to the article, didn't realise it was the BHF sponsored walk, I thought you were just doing it yourself, not so bad if you have company on the way!
It's 7 quid a bag here - a quid a day for the best protein you can eat........seems good value to me. If you continue training and add this in to your regime you will definately suck-seed(sorry).
It also fixes anything you have "up" with you.
It's miracle whip - don't knock it till you've tried it. The emperor wears no clothes an all that :)
you'll probably find the weather is better for you in june , making it easier.. well till lunch perhaps..have you seen the doctor, I mean regarding diet ..carbs etc.
probably easier if others are going as well..
I used to walk to neasden as a kid.. it was about 3 miles but took 50 minutes I think was the fastest I did it.. but it was rather hilly as well. so thats good going.
in recent times , november last year.. 2 miles in hemel up the steep hill there took me 40 minutes.. you take cars / bikes for granted :)
No need - just eat the hemp. Trust me - I'm not a doctor........
you can get certificates for that...

look at the caption under the photo
Seriously though - Don't look at your poo- just eat the hemp. And then look at your poo, content in the scientific fact that it's now somehow better.
At least she's all heart and just trying to help:
"She gave me a balloon... put two drinking straws underneath it and said, 'That's what you look like!' I ended up in tears."
Hello Doc, I'm fit and healthy and exercise a lot, can you recommend what I eat?
NHS and all that
Last time I did a really long walk (in Corfu) I followed it with a shower, a dip in the pool, then sat up on the bed and read for a bit. After a couple of hours I tried to move, only to find my legs cramping up in incredible agony. I couldn't stand, and however hard I tried I couldn't find the relaxed position I'd been in moments ago.
Fortunately there was a bottle of ASDA after-sun gel within reach (it's a moisturiser but it has an evaporating cooling effect too) and was able to just about bend enough to rub that in; the combination of cooling and rubbing eventually reduced the pain to something bearable.
I was lucky even to have that though, as the bottle had split while I was packing. Had I not noticed (and not had time to decant it into a soap dispenser bottle) I'd have been well and truly screwed.
P.S. Brighton Model World this weekend - lots of big boys' toys. Don't walk - run!

I'd have guessed gotten a train away from Brighton. :razz:
Do you have an idea of how far you walked?

So, start from the double bay to the right of centre of this image, climb up to the village [260m high] you can see perched on the slope to the left of centre (from below it looks like a sheer cliff - it's actually the bluff you can see to the right of the village which hides it; behind that is a sloping dried up stream bed), then follow the road round the head of the next valley and out to the fortress where this photo was taken [270m]. Now going back, get up behind the highest peak you can see [480m] (where there's a derelict village on a small plateau [360m]), then come back over the saddle betwen that peak and the next (that dotted line of four or five white pixels is a church, [440m]), down a stony donkey path around another valley in the hillside to the village, then the same again back down to the bay.
The zigzag path you can see in the foreground is nothing to do with it. That's just a track to some posh, secluded villas. Or in the lower case, some posh, secluded foundations.
Probably not even 10 miles on the map, but lots of ascents and descents on rough paths on a hot day. Just the amount of water you need weighs you down, never mind taking on some nice pies and ice-cream along the way. :lol:
