Ultracat - it's 600 miles overall, so 100 miles a month.

If you log 25 miles a week, you'll finish with two weeks to spare!

If you log 3.5 miles a day, you'll also get there before the end of September.

Walking and running activities both count.

I don't usually do virtual stuff but I'm in. Disappointed Nottingham Castle isn't on the route though... 🤨

Thanks to Lord Fetch & Synge for organising the virtual challenge.

As others have intimated on the original blog, if there is a medal 🏅 or “Welsh slate” on offer, I’m happy to pay for one. Eeerrrrrrrr, if I finish it in time of course. 👍

faithfulred - I was spoiled for choice with Welsh castles, which is why the first half of the route looks a bit more meandering than the second half.

There weren't so many choices as the route came back through the East Midlands to Bedford. I had Nottingham on my longlist, but it didn't quite fit into a suitable 50-mile interval between the one before and the one after. :-(
