Me and Simon have just started to follow a walking regime. Partly to get us fit (we need it) and partly in preparation for the Shine Midnight Walk on 17th April on behalf of Cancer Research. It's good to have a goal to focus the mind but I hope we keep walking beyond April.
So far we're into week 3 which has involved 2 midweek walks of 3 miles, and a Sunday morning walk of 4 - 5 miles. As the weeks go on this will steadily increase until we hit our target 13 miler.
At the moment the midweek walks just involve walking around the town. Mainly because it's dark by the time we can get ourselves out, and we know where we're going. It's lovely to get out into the countryside on a Sunday though and we'll be picking a different location every week so look forward to seeing what is out there.
Last week we did our walk through Linacre Woods and Old Brampton in Chesterfield. Of course the walking also gives me an opportunity to take me camera out and about (as if it didnt need surgically removing anyway!) so I'll be posting a photo or two from our walks aswell.
Here's a map of our route - we hung a right at Bagshaw Farm and headed back to Linacre Reservoir.

Unfortunately Simon landed awkwardly coming over one of the styles and thinks he might have broken his little toe - so he's gonna have to take it easy on subsequent walks.
Here's a nice photo I took in Linacre Woods - it was a lovely sunny day and I caught the sun shining over the water and through the trees.
