In the near future I intend to walk the Sandstone Trail: “Northwest England’s Most Popular Middle Distance Trail” (according to the website). Perhaps if I successfully complete this one I should move onto the second and third most popular.

It’s 34 miles of walking. I haven’t walked so far in quite some time but I have been doing some running recently so I’m hoping that will contribute to my overall fitness. I intend to do a long day walk in the lakes this week. Technically it possible to do all of the Sandstone Trail in 1 day but that is an estimated 12 hours of walking. I intend to take 2 days with a night somewhere near Beeston.

I did this with the scouts when I was a teenager but I don’t really recall much about it. I do remember that we camped. Being an adult is fantastic as you can afford to stay indoors when you sleep.
