Distance covered

Recommended Posts

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?

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!

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.

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play.

They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
