Hi Rod
Next time I'll head to the general forum when I want to go off topic!!!!!!!!
I did the Dava Way last year and I checked out the website before doing the walk and this just grabbed my attention. Just like you I thought it sounded a bit odd but I've now changed my mind and decided I need to do this (even if it's just once).
I'm surprised I'm interested, I do all my walking solo so starting off with 100+ others (and at 10 at night) is a polar opposite to what I normally look for.
