Goodness me, 14 miles and it's considered a mere 'stroll'!
How wonderfully fit & healthy you must be, I can't imagine what distance you would have to cover to call it a walk, let alone a hike.

Will, you are an inspiration to us all!

You do realise he won't see this, even with my reply! 🙈 🙉 🙊


I know
And the three people left who he hasn't killfiled won't dare quote me because they know they will end up in there as well!

But killfiles notwithstanding I will still comment if the post is ridiculous enough to warrant it. Is he trying to impress with his 14 miles 'strolls'?
It's no big deal anyway, I've walked 14 miles (and more) as I'm sure everyone else on here has too. But 14 miles is a 'walk' and a long one too. A stroll is what you do round your local park.

But Will can't just say he went for a walk, like anyone else would he has to boast about how long it was and how effortlessly easy to complete.


Sod it, I'll quote you.
As you say, it's no big deal and 14 miles on a level surface could easily be considered a stroll, whist 5 miles in the hills could be demanding and strenuous.
Who cares? Each to our own.


A *long* stroll then
