Hi there everybody!

First time here, and I’m fascinated at how many people seem to be doing virtual challenges as well! I mistakenly took on the long version of the Great Wall of China, and eventually decided to keep that for e-bike and static biking only, so that I can get somewhere by walking. I’m now walking up Everest ;while sitting atop a Norwegian mountain, and have less than 200km to go on the Great Wall. A party is being planned at the finish! 🥳🥳

I am doing the Land’s End to John O’Groats 1083 miles & counting all of my walking. Last year I did the Walk 1000 miles in 2023 challenge.

The Great Wall is 2194.25 miles. And no Street View, nor much else to keep interest going. Still, only just over 100 to go!

Too far! There is a shorter option, but as I said, I made a mistake 😂

I think that would be too far for me.

yeah, I also love a good virtual challenge. It keeps us solitary runners connected and motivated! I’m currently salivating over a new set of medal-challenges I might want to do, but haven’t decided yet.

I wonder if I know which ones you mean 😂 I’m sticking with the ones I’ve been doing, but I do understand the temptation.
