Intro – World Chocolate Day Walk – 2025 July 6
World Chocolate Day is celebrated on the 7th July which in 2025 falls on a Monday. Most people work on Mondays so we celebrated a day earlier. We had a brisk walk followed by brunch and social. Most enjoyable. Thanks to all who participated. My hot chocolate and cream was very tasty and so was the chicken prego.
It was a cold morning (we are in winter) but what a beautiful sunny day. Solid morning walk with a steady heart rate, mostly cruising in endurance and moderate zones while covering a good 7.1 km distance. We have very fit people in our group👍👌👏👏😎

Walk of Fame
More exciting news: we now have our very own ‘Walk of Fame’ for anyone who has done a minimum on 90 Km on a single event, walk or hike anywhere in the world (for example the 200 km, sometimes 300 km Camino from Porto to Santiago).
