Editorial The 51st edition of the Scottish Widows Parish Walk has continued to grow this year, with record entries again. Congratulations to everyone, whether you took part, supported a walker, helped with the organisation or marshalled. Without YOU the event could not take place!

There may have been moments when you said “Why am I doing this?!” or even “Never again!” However, the blisters heal, the pain soon fades, and the memories of the experiences you gained and the people you met will remain with you. Especially when people look at you with awe when they find out you took part in such an event.

More and more people are now seeing competitive walking events as an enjoyable and healthy activity. A much larger proportion of walkers are now also being attracted to the just to take part in this event, as its fame spreads further afield. Many people are already planning and looking forwards to their 2012 Parish Walk.

Come back next year… You may or may not want to try the full distance but you will certainly miss all the fun if you are not entered. And don’t forget the End to End Walk, where you can walk the entire length of the island with hundreds of other people, taking place in September!

If you enjoyed the Parish Walk, perhaps you might enjoy other walks too. From the Isle of Man I headed straight to Dublin, where walkers from all over the World were gathered. Just to line up against Guatemala, Tunisia, Columbia, India, China, South Africa, Australia, and Mauritius was an experience in itself.

Earlier in the year regular walkers were also invited to take part in the ‘Olympic Test Event,’ 20km held on The Mall outside Buckingham Palace - a dress rehearsal of the actual event next year, with giant flags and crowds of people. (The closest that many of us could ever get to being in the Olympics.)

…And then there is the Death March in Belgium, the Four Day March in Holland, and various Championships around the UK and beyond. Walking will take you places.

Walking can also become addictive if you take it up on a regular basis. The beneficial chemicals released by regular exercise will naturally encourage you to keep exercising. (That’s the secret of how and why the top walkers keep going.) You would also be surprised at the number of walkers aged in their seventies and even eighties who still love to enter events.

I hope to see you at another event soon…
