Just realised, I would have been at my first checkpoint if I had started in the 2nd !! That will teach me for slacking.

Hello! Yesterday I logged a run and two walks - the run brought my total up to 137.6 miles. The walks were 0.6 and 2.6 miles respectively but my total seems to be stuck on 137.6 instead of almost 140.

My Fetchpoint, Conquersize, Hide+Seek and Thingy-thon all show the walks, only Castle Challenge doesn't ... anyone else had this happen?

Hi SpottyDog
I use a Garmin 235 and had the same issue last year on other virtual events, when recording it as “other” and then selecting walking as an option from the menu afterwards. I now record as a run and edit afterwards which gets around the problem.

I've passed the first Castle!!! :-)

I had to go for a 6 mile walk. Which wasn't as awful as I anticipated. The furthest I've been for ages is 4 miles, I assumed 6 miles would finish me off but it was fine.

Really pleased with my little self.

Thanks AtC! I did try editing the activity type but it didn’t help. Weirdly all my previous walks came through to Castle Challenge OK, just not yesterday’s ones. I think Mr Fetch has a feedback coming 😉

Well this will be where I will be spending the next 10 days or so! Isolating for the first 3 then recuperating post op after that, so anyone behind me, feel free to drop off chocolate and gin as you pass by 😘🤣
