Walking at Glasto

[Paul Backskin]

After a discussion with a few mates Ive decided to buy a pedometer (yeah I know a wee bit geeky) to see how many miles I walk during the 6 days there. Just wondered if anyone has ever done this before & if so how did it go? We camp at the top of the hill opposite the pyramid stage and even walking back to the tent after a day of madness and a night at the stone circle feels like a ten mile hike! Id love to know just how many miles we all cover.

It will be fascinating to find out. I reckon I walk more in Glasto week than the rest of the year put together.

Great idea. I took a pedometer to Vegas with me one year, averaged 5 miles a day over the 11 days I was there. The little bimbles here and there soon add up.

Looking forward to you reporting back

plenty.

I like to wonder about and if it is less than 10 miles a day I would be surprised!

Just hope I manage to keep it safe for the duration of the festival this

maybe the key to it all! Like you say all the little journeys add up so the results should be interesting.

I did this with a pedometer on my mobile phone in 2008. I was staggered to learn I walked around 60 miles, or 15 miles each day whilst at Glasto

Unfortunately I ate a load of shit whilst there and drank bucket loads of beer so I lost no weight whilst there. But I felt good!

Will be interesting to see your results.

I work on my feet 10 hrs a day and thought my legs would laugh at a weekend of camping with the occasional stroll between stages.

How very wrong i was.

This year however i'm doing a half marathon at end of May and have been properly training,not that fussed about where i come in race to be honest,more about getting the pins in shape for Glasto

One of our group uses a pedometer on a daily basis, making sure they achieve at set number of steps/distance.

Has decided to wear throughout Glasto week to see how the results come in, I’m expecting these to be phenomenal!

I'll be using the pedometer thing on my phone, looking forward to both seeing how much walking I do and also the obligatary competitiveness of posting your stats post fest
