The right side of the bars

Friday 26th Sep
Last day of holiday and the last chance to get my steps in, which today included a walk round Alcatraz!!!!

Throw in some cycling too

Friday 26th Sep
Not just any old cycling today, cycling over the Golden Gate bridge in San Francisco!!! And it was amazing to experience how quickly weather can change too!!!

Hills of San Francisco

Friday 26th Sep
Onto the final leg of our holiday and the hills of San Francisco have taken this walking challenge to a new level!!!

Hello Dears....

Monday 22nd Sep
Walk past a famous house in San Francisco!

Beautiful Coastal Walking

Monday 22nd Sep
Whilst travelling between Monteray and San Francisco got in some beautiful coastal walks

Shortest walking day

Friday 19th Sep
Always knew today would be the shortest day walking as needed to drive 384km from Santa Barbara to Monterey, but at least got very close to the 100km mark now!!!!

Santa Barbara Brewery Walk

Thursday 18th Sep
What a lovely place Santa Barbara is to walk and explore! 2nd longest distance of the hol so far and included popping into a couple of local brewery's along the way!

Driving today, but not included in my walking distance!!!!

Wednesday 17th Sep
Still managed a decent amount of km today with walking in Santa Monica, along muscle beach, before a bit more when we arrived in Santa Barbara after driving from LA!

Quick cuppa!

Tuesday 16th Sep

Day 5-Not a wrong turn!

Tuesday 16th Sep
Today's walk included a stop off at a very recognisable cafe, and don't worry we are still on the west coast of the US, as this programme was never actually filmed in New York, where it was set!!!

Hollywood Walk of Fame

Tuesday 16th Sep

Famous Walk included...

Tuesday 16th Sep
Today saw my walk include one of the most famous walks in the world...The Hollywood Walk of Fame! I also hit the 50k target..that's right...by day 4 on holiday! Delighted and why stop at 50km? Im now going for 50miles!

San Diego all walked out!

Monday 15th Sep
Another 15km walked today which takes my San Diego total to 44km! I've impressed myself!!! Would have been a bit further however the odd brewery or two slowed us down at times!

Onto next location on Sunday!

Day 2- USS Midway

Saturday 13th Sep
Slower day today however walk round exploring a US aircraft carrier helped get in my steps!!!

Day 1 -Better start than I expected

Friday 12th Sep
After so many generous donations, and setting the bar on the challenge higher by aiming to do the 50k whilst on our 2 week holiday, I felt the pressure to get off to an early start!!! Day 1 and 19km done!!! (At this rate I may raise the bar on distance too if I get more donations!!!)

Thank you to everyone who has donated already, and if you haven't yet...its not too late! Click on the link to donate!

Even More Challenging!

Sunday 7th Sep
As I'm away on holiday for just over 2weeks in September, I'm aiming to hit the 50km during this time period, rather than over the whole month of September!
