Re: LC Walking Weekend (2009, 2011, 2013)
Dear Walker,
My second post perhaps will be better in a new tread, but therefore I think it's a little bit to early.
Here are the results from the FIRST LEONARD COHEN BIRTHDAY WALKING today.
So here we go.
Below you find the map (we started in A and ended in B ... as usual)
Our speed and elevation data (Flat walk !!!)
I will post the general information about our walk in an other item, because I can't upload more than 3 pictures ... I'll have to inform myself by a moderator !
PS Thanks Maarten to support me by this job and I'm glad to have a moderator nearby who can correct all my faults and who reads the posts from his family and friends ....

I know you're a heavy drinker, but don't try to do better than the Irish... And about the walking: keep up the good work!
Say hi to everyone from me and tell Ken Vera was very happy with the Christy Moore disks I gave her. She loved the back artwork!

As promised the general data from our first LEONARD COHEN BIRTHDAY WALK.
Take note that we walked during more than 2 hours and rested during 50 minutes.
For the experts who are reading this I can send you the Gpx-file if you want to do it over.

And how appropriate to have a lady leading the way. We know men get lost and refuse to ask for directions.

Looks like you all had a wonderful time. Great photos! I see that some serious walking actually happened. I am impressed and what beautiful countryside.
