I notice from the blurb on the games front page that if you log a bike ride or a run it counts - will walking entries also be counted?

Runners, work a lot harder to cover the distance so get 2 points and swimmers 4. If you are walking I don't see why you wouldn't claim the 2 points you are due. The debate probably boils down to the nature of the walking: if you use a GPS to walk a mile or so to the office each day and back then maybe that is different to putting on a pair of stout walking boots and gettign muddy on a few hills.
