July Challenge: Sundays will be weekly update-day. Today is Sunday!
So, I had this idea that if I couldn't find a fitting real-life or fictional distance, it might be fun to just head out the door and see where the road takes us?
As it turns out, our combined goal distance + active hours (in distance at average human walking speed) is pretty much spot on for the Wikipedia distance of the Limpopo River.
However, mulling it over, I decided travelling along the Limpopo River would be 1) a bitch to map, 2) maybe actually boring in the long run, 3) really suck in terms of mosquitoes.
So we're heading out the road and seeing where it takes us! And learning some European geography along the way, unless we paid attention at school and already know all the big cities.
We'll start at Skagen, the northern-most tip of Denmark, and head south for the German Border. When we get to Hamburg, Germany, y'all will vote on whether we continue south through Germany, turn east toward Poland, or West towards The Netherlands.
I hope you'll enjoy the trip :) !
Please post your mileage and active hours so far in the comments.

Unfortunately, I didn't add much to our mileage this week. I'm at ZERO MILES (0 mi.) running for the month. :-/ However, I managed 8 hours of hiking/active time, 7 of that in a 35 pound (15.9 kg) pack. My knees can still do this, yay!
Also, yes, I definitely owe all of y'all that final wrap-up post for Middle Earth. I haven't forgotten! Sometime today I'll get it done.

I think every one of us have had SUCH good intentions when we've captained, but turns out it's more work than anticipated, and I'm really tired tonight and will do it tomorrow, etc. :)
I'll freely admit I'll use Google to map our route, and because I'm now attached to the idea of learning a bit of geography of where large (for relative values while still in Denmark, *snort*) European cities are in relation to each other, we'll be travelling along highways instead of roads that would actually be suited for running/hiking, *hands*.
