Today was the day I planned to start my Alpe Adria trail journey, from the Pasterze glacier in the Hohe Tauern National Park in Austria.
Instead I did my now regular two mile circuit of Crystal Palace Park in south London. Not
But this
And no, I didn’t climb up the mast, just to the top of the hill, a mere 109 metres above sea level, but still one of the highest points in London. Compared to the start of the Alpe Adria Trail at 2576 metres, which is just a little bit more spectacular. Never mind, I hope to be in Austria for a postponed start to my hike in 13 months’ time.
At least my 1000 mile target for 2020 is now (nearly) back on track. As of this morning I’ve logged 564 miles outdoors since 1 January and have two more hikes planned for this week. If I can keep up for another year should put me in reasonable shape for the 470 miles of the trail next year. 1000 miles in a year is a worthwhile and feasible target for anyone who’s is reasonable shape I think and certainly motivates you to keep active.
