A fly day out to walk some miles in real life Glasgow - the 05:59 out and getting home just after 21:00... old haunts revisited (and a new bridge walked over) and of course 'my' beloved crane.

A grand day out, complete with macaroni pie for lunch, a lovely walk along the Clyde and a brief catch up with a few folk I haven't seen in a very long time. 500-ish miles by train, and just shy of 9 walked.

Just twelve miles left to walk and three days to walk them - that should be doable!

I have been more than a bit lax in posting updates recently - apologies, life has been pretty full, and getting my average of eight miles a day walked has been a good challenge.

Today I passed the 90% point, having walked 225 of 250 miles (plus a couple more before the end of the day).  It has been a genuine challenge and it has been a lot of fun.  Finally working out a decent length, adequately safe and interesting, route around this small town has been a definite positive, as well as raising (so far) £280 for the charity Refugee Action.

With four days left to complete the challenge, the end is very much in sight.  If only the same could be said for the conflicts and humanitarian disasters that force people to flee their homes risking everything in the hope of better future.
