alibear Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 Did anyone use a pedometer or similar to track distances covered? I remembered on Thursday that my phone has a health app, so was looking periodically. I averaged about 16km each day, or more than 20,000 steps - madness! We paid three visits to the night areas, the Park a couple of times, stone circle twice, West Holts/Avalon about three times... we were camped in Spring Ground so definitely trekked to most corners of the site. The distances are probably a little off as some of the steps would have been me getting my groove on, but still proves how hard the festival is. Dis anyone else keep track?

RedGlover Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 Someone we were with did and he clocked 17km on the Wednesday - So sounds like you have similar footsteps.. Great idea that I'm planning on next time! Might make me feel a bit better following cider and growler consumption Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImGonnaLive4eva Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 About 40,000 a day for us! We did a lot of walking/dancing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubenz Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 Always lose a few pounds at glasto despite consuming tonnes of food and booze due to all the walking involved! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brettredmayne Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 On the 26th I did 14.39 miles but that is also because I was out after 12 and it includes all the steps I did in south East corner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rachmac Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 My friend had a fitbit and we did around 30,000 steps a day which is c.15miles apparently! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alibear Posted June 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 I covered most distance yesterday - just over 35,000 steps. I probably would've been up for walking more but the hubby's in a wheelchair and it can be a bit of a bastard helping him up the hills! My legs are feeling it now - I must've cancelled out all the curries, vodka and cider! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amii Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 Covered 50 miles during the festival. As soon as I stepped out the car from driving home my legs gave way. Three flights of stairs up to my apartment was a struggle to say the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingbat2 Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 Not this year, but I did take one a few years back and after 4 days it said I had walked 60 miles for the whole festival ! That explained the blisters, the back ache, and calf ache! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alibear Posted June 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 Yep, my back and hips are in pieces now. Slightly worried I won't be able to get out of bed for work in the morning! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robin Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 I was wearing my Garmin for the duration, and also had the Google Fit app running on my phone. I didn't actually cover as much distance on site as usual and there wasn't much going between stages or anything. There was a few trips up and down the hill to the campervan though. Some days Google and the Garmin are pretty accurate, some days I was pushing a baby buggy so the Garmin will not have recorded steps whilst the phone will have, all of the time they are both pretty inaccurate ways of measuring distance. Although I have had some fairly accurate running distances calculated by the watch just using steps when I forgot to turn on the GPS mode once. I wouldn't really trust either method as anything other than a way of comparing to a previous days level of activity and if you are doing more or less. They don't give an accurate distance measured as pedometers. - - - - - - - - - - Garmin 920xt - Google Fit - - - - - - - - - - Steps - Miles -- Steps - Miles Wednesday - 13540 - 7.2 - - - 9783 - 4.24 Thursday - - - 16245 - 8.6 - - - 16055 - 6.41 Friday - - - - - 25580 - 13.5 - - 12795 - 7.84 Saturday - - - 17184 - 9.1 - - - 11792 - 7.34 Sunday - - - - 20219 - 10.7 - - 14823 - 9.2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
