The Movember Thread
I just thought I would get this one started since I signed up today to join a team of “hombres” at work.
I have no intention of shaving off my current combo, so instead this year I am opting for the MOVE challenge. This involves a pledge to walk (or run, but I’m a walker!) 60 km over the month. Doesn’t sound much so I’ve announced my intention to walk at least 120 km.
The figure arises from the fact that apparently 60 men every hour take their own lives across the world. Sobering thought.
I won’t post a link to my page here, because if a lot of us did that we would probably induce Compassion Fatigue. I’m sure many of you will do your own thing in your own way. But equally, I’d be very glad to send you a link to my page via PM if you request it.
If you are going to Grow the Mo or Do the Move, please do let us know. And of course, a few pics throughout the month are always a source of quality jollity. I’ll take a few pictures on my walks and post those.
Gentlemen, this is your time.

Re: The Movember Thread
I’ve been out for a few walks to get into practice, and today was absolutely lovely in the autumn sunshine. I did a favourite 7 km walk just outside Norwich, round Whitlingham Broad and along the River Yare.

Re: The Movember Thread
I suppose I could have taken one, Chuck. I was wearing my Blue Mako (general beater). Personally I think a beautiful view loses out slightly if you stick a watch in the foreground.

Re: The Movember Thread
Lovely idea Steve! I used to do Movember every year but have come to enjoy keeping my beard! So last year I did something different but not sure I'll be doing anything this year. I'll donate instead.

Re: The Movember Thread
I wasn’t able to get out walking for much of last week because of work and other commitments. However, I’m now up to 36 km completed, so 84 to go before the end of the month.
And I know you are probably doing things yourselves or sponsoring all sorts of stuff, but here’s my link just in case. My team and I would be incredibly grateful.

Re: The Movember Thread
Well done Steve. I'm lagging at a mere 6km as the weather has been a bit feisty this weekend. 114 km to come in order match your efforts

Re: The Movember Thread
Good walking weather, cool, cloudy and dry.
11 km done today. Total now 52...68 to go. I’m trying to nail as much of this as possible while the weather is good.
Sensible use of dive bezel, please note, to keep track of roughly how long you’ve been walking. Almost 1h 15 at this point.
