My Schedule for the Summer
Posted by Mark Moxon on 9 April 2008
At last, I’ve managed to come up with a walking schedule for my summer tubewalk. My proposed walking route – which I’ve now added to the left-hand navigation – comes to a grand total of 402 miles, which I’ve split into 42 pleasant walking days, varying from 4.5 miles for the shortest day to a whopping 13 for the longest. This is a considerably shorter than a typical day on my Land’s End to John o’Groats jaunt, where the daily distance ranged from 6.5 to 24 miles, but this time the emphasis is on quality, not quantity. Besides, there are more pubs in London than in the countryside, and it would be rude to avoid them.
If you want to see what each day looks like, then check out the new sections on my site. There’s one for each line, and in there you can find a complete walking route for each line, as well as routes for each of the 42 walking days. If anyone out there fancies joining me for a jaunt, just let me know; and if I’m walking through your neck of the woods and you’re planning to be there, then I’m always up for a medicinal ale or two at the end of the walking day. Answers on a postcard to the usual address.
My next blog post will be a rather technical look at how I created these maps, for which I apologise in advance. Though only a bit.
