I will not be satisfied until I can do at least 12 miles, twice a week.
I am a good walker and will not do less than 20miles. This I find I can do without any long term training. For further distances I will build up and would do 30 miles in the time it takes me to do the 20 miles now.
Furthest walked in one go is 100miles in 35 hours. This is an organised event with check points.
Get training as this walk is being held in this part of the country in 2015. possibly starting north of Bury and possibly going up Pendle Hill at around the 50mile mark.

I am going to have a look at that!Well done on the commitment!
I agree, I prefer to run in rain than when it's sweltering hot, even though it seems worse at first, after I'm warmed up and relaxed into the run I am glad of the rain.

I need to check this out too-all my runs are usually in Yorkshire. Got a log here but it needs updating done a few more since

Strawberry duck what a name! Take it your dog is your namesake-what are collies like as a pet, I've never had one. I had a Collie cross, who was from a feral father and an abandoned mother. Lovely dog, very restless and naughty as a youngster though!
