Hi folks,

I just want to put this site out there, it's called www.BigWalks.com and it offers all kinds of walking challenges such as the three peaks challenge, but also more hardcore ones like the five peaks challenge and the ten peaks challenge, and then for mental people, the twenty-five peaks challenge.

What's the most challenging walk you've ever done?

John Muir Trail from Yosemite to the summit of Mount Whitney and on to
Whitney Portal. Two hundred and twenty miles, 48,500 feet of ascent.
44,500 feet of descent in fifteen days. Trip report at:-

In the UK, the Fisherfield Munros in about fourteen hours. Lots of up,
lots of down and a fair distance.

The mile or so back home after an evening of imbibing in a local pub.

Of course that was when I was much younger, I couldn't tackle it again.
