Kindly Note: Pace of Walk
Please note that while I believe the pace of my walks aligns with the Ramblers' description of "Moderate", some walkers have mentioned that they find my pace (approximately +3 miles per hour) a bit faster than they prefer. But please note that this is the pace of my walks, so if you're looking for a slower walk, this one might not be suitable for you
