Virtual walking

Pope Benedict has recently warned against the danger of internet relationships replacing "real" relationships - see his Message for World Communications Day. Since the Holy Father makes no reference to virtual exercise replacing real exercise, Zero and I feel quite able to do this walk from home.

The route description includes the following:

Terrain and surface:
Generally level, with some gentle slopes. Mostly on rough paths or tracks and on grass. Some fields may be ploughed. Six stiles. 800m beside roads

Refreshments and toilets:
Pubs at Chigwell, Chigwell Row, Havering-atte-Bower. Cafes at Chigwell. Public toilets at Hainault Forest Country Park and Havering-atte-Bower

And, at the end:

Completed a route ? Why not celebrate your achievement by ordering a completion certificate from info@walklondon.org.uk

I suppose we will have to award ourselves a virtual certificate as well ... Being now out of breath, with aching limbs, we can have our pudding!
