Distance covered

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.

    • After all the good advice on here I had a nice visit to the site earlier in the week.    Walked down from Pilton village to Hitchen Hill and down the footpath to the Wood by Woodies.    Really strange seeing the site empty of 100,000 people. There is far more hedges and woodland on the site than you remember when the festival is on. Can see the stone circle and some structures still up on site. And looks like Worthy View has some camping going on there during the summer too.   Lots was fenced off with electric fencing to help wth the cattle grazing. Is really amazing how they set up the site as its hard enough accessing the area by car and foot nevermind all the kit needed to set the festival up. As others said you can't walk the whole site but nice to see the site again after a few years away   Pilton is also a lovely village with a nice village hall shop and post office attached, and got to speak to some locals who told me a few tales of past festivals down the years. One house for sale there would be lovely to live in - if only I had £2 million going spare     
    • 6music just shared a video of all of Fontaines DC singing along to the Cure last night. It'll be them. Booooo    Olivia might get up for I Love You though...
    • Proper loser behaviour wearing a tee like that. Me and my mate play a game every year called ‘Boomer Tees’ and there’s some gems every time.
