Mark, try this: http://www.more-outdoors.co.uk/GPX

It's VERY basic and kinda buggy atm. Not got around to doing the speed/elevation data so it only displays the map + route from an uploaded GPX file.

I'm still kinda new to the Google Charts API so I'll try and finish it off tonight (Weds) if I get time

There's a few reconditioned BAP1500s about:

There's also a second-hand one on Amazon going cheap. Is it greedy of me to want a second one? If it works...

Shame I didn't spot that before dropping £150 at the weekend - I could in theory return it, but that doesn't feel right. Morning after, it's gone. Saved my pennies.

Went on a looovellly walk today.

Was the same one I did before around Boxley, but had my GPS with me today so I can record my speed/etc and link the photos to the route

To see the map of it along with the pictures mark on it, click here, then click the

button just under the map

The awesome thing about this walk HAS to be this:

That looks a little too close for comfort.

I had a lovely bus ride through the countryside today. Not up to walking quite yet (soon), but better that than stuck at home. So much countryside around here but I know so little of what's 'out there'.

That's the graphs from the above walk

I tell ye, that ascent was one b*stard

I did a walk today, first one I've done since I fell down the stairs on Sunday so I'm still a little sore. Did a loop rather than a figure of eight, just under two miles (by 0.01)!

I've also changed the logger I'm using to RunKeeper. Here's the track.

Ouch - take care. Glad to hear you're back at it though.

Better late than never. Walking tomorrow. I'll be dragging an empty suitcase though which is going to be a bit meh. The suitcase will be coming back full which will be even more meh (might try to time it so I meet a bus half way to avoid the worst bit).

lostkat · 29-04-2009, 20:50

Oh no! Hope you're alright Feek. You did the right thing giving it a rest though.

Why do you like runkeeper better than mapmywalk? Just interested because I really like mapmyrun, but if there is better out there then I'm willing to give it a go.

Feek · 29-04-2009, 20:53

Simply because the mapmywalk tracking app needed me to put my password in each time I entered the application. Somewhat frustrating when one has a 16 character password made of random numbers, letters and symbols.

A major bump to an old thread here.

Over the last couple of months, I've been walking at least five miles a day. I enjoy my walks and I'm sure it's doing me good.

However, over the last few weeks I've noticed that after my lunchtime walk (normally between 2.5 and 3 miles), when I've sat in the office for a while, if I get up, my legs are really stiff and sore and it takes a few steps to loosen up again. It really is just twenty steps or so then I'm fine but until the stiffness wears off, I'm walking like an old arthritic man.

They don't actually hurt, they're just uncomfortable.

I'm walking at just under 4mph, according to mapmywalk I'm doing around 15.5 minutes/mile so it's a 'brisk' walk and if I had a longer lunch break, I could quite easily go much longer. For example, last Sunday I went with Mrs. Feek to work in the morning and walked home which is only 1.5 miles but I took a roundabout route and it took me over six miles

I'm wearing Bridgedale Woolfusion trekker socks and my work trousers which are great for walking in. At weekends I've been wearing some really comfortable shorts but I'm going to have to pick something else up for my weekend strolls as shorts really won't be the item of choice in a couple of weeks once the weather really starts changing.
