Might seem like it at the time, but in retrospect , they weren't quite that ! ! Cheers. lol i never take offence mate be abit of a hypocrite if i did aye i dont do 30 plus now mate but do 20 miles all the time winter when not as much light and brutal going if i walk it now summer do it 4 hour i recon that isnt guessed mate dead a winter 20 mile wet fields is around 44000 steps mate and i had to get there walking when younger this season timed a bitch go just shy a 5 mins stop it get on another within 30 seconds and went just over 12 mins before lost 2nd to cover mate so 12 mins overall with 30 sec stop Edited May 15, 2021 by mC HULL 1 Quote Link to post
