You can ask the dog Sharkie? Maybe he fancies it enough to walk you 100 miles a month?

Good idea Hann, put your garmin on Jess’s collar Sharks and she can do it for you:)

I am conserving my energy today, so I can start with a decent walk tomorrow.

Chrisity - I'm not sure if the event map could cope with 600 mile markers, but here are the first two stages:

Cardiff Castle to Caerphilly Castle

Caerphilly Castle to Chepstow Castle
fetcheveryone.com/routes-view.php?id=1824432

Hopefully that will be enough for this weekend?!

I am going to see if I can walk some of the actual route... I am just South of Hay, between Caerphilly and Chepstow...

Synge has sent me a list of some of the castles you will see on your way - I've put them in the sidebar :-)

I am now contemplating a bike ride taking in some castles... Stop in places for walking breaks. Activities registered on different devices...

I "could" take the train to Cardiff, then start cycling at Cardiff castle after a walk around castle and park. Do the same at Caerphilly... Then Chepstow. Find someone to pick me up in Chepstow... Hmmmm so many fun o ptions...

Thanks Synge, I've got up to 112 miles with the Robin Hood Way and it does get a bit difficult at times. Having them available in the side bar would be useful. I'm sure I'm not the only one who would like to finish a run at say each castle.
