It’s November which means we’ve come to the end of the Cool Bloggers Walking Club for October 2026. Elisabeth’s CBWC is where we do 10 mins of walking, or other activtity, every day. A lot of the month G and I were traveling so there was lots of walking. I haven’t included all the walking here, there was a lot of walking to transport, food etc, this is just the highlights. Here’s the summary of my month:
