As the good old Chinese proverb goes "a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step". And my first one will be this Sunday, 1st of July. By the end of August I hope that my steps will be equal to '=SUM(F:F)' on my spreadsheet.
In tune with the intent of this walk, I will keep to myself during '=SUM(E:E)' and will not be posting until my return.
Thank you very much to Webmaster extraordinaire Priscilla Kwok for updating this blog on daily basis.

After 543,164 uninterrupted steps (394km) I decided to take a bus between Orbost (Vic) and Eden (NSW). It was a hard decision to make and I am very disappointed. However, it was necessary in order to avoid a high risk which is beyond my ability to manage. More on this later, but basically, it involves big trucks traveling at speed on a narrow winding road with blind spots and limited to no shoulder to walk on.
