‘A very lot for me’
‘After badly breaking my leg on a bike ride, I’ve been knocked off course, but I’m coming up to 200 miles. Not a lot to some, but all things considered, a very lot for me. And I won’t give up walking! I told my new consultant all about #walk1000miles and we agree hopefully I’ll be fixed enough next year to complete the full 1000!’Melanie Moss-Burton

‘Such happy memories'
‘Nothing has ever been made worse by going for a walk! The habit is ingrained, and it’s brought such happy memories – like taking my kids to see Cathedral Caves for the first time and watching them skip down the Langdales after a pub lunch in the sunshine. I’m due to complete my 1000 miles while on the Coast to Coast in September which I’m walking in aid of The Ambulance Staff Charity – feels like a pretty cool place to hit that milestone!’ Hannah Beddoe

‘Great for our relationship’
‘I’m usually like a headless chicken, but when I am out walking with my boys it definitely helps with our relationship, especially when I’m on my own with the big one (10) and we have time to talk uninterrupted. Whatever miles you are on, my advice is don’t push it – do what you can when you can (the dishes will be there when you get back!).’

‘1000 miles is the beginning not the end. This is my third year since retirement and my third year doing the challenge. It really gives me a focus and gets me up and out of the house every single day, come rain or shine. Nothing better than a good walk followed by a nice café. I’ve discovered so many new places, many only a few miles from home, and this year I am also taking photos of listed buildings; with more than 400,000 just in England that should keep me on the streets. In my first year doing the challenge, 1000 miles seemed near impossible, but getting out every day the miles soon add up and actually me and my lovely wife walked 2021 miles together. I also lost a few stone and felt much fitter. Not bad six years after a double heart bypass!’
