Week 1 – Land’s End to Meldon (98 miles)

We’ve completed a whopping 98 miles in the first week of our Virtual Walk challenge! That's a group total of 196,860 steps!!

We have now reached the number 5 marker on our route. That means we are now in the little hamlet of Meldon, Devon by the beautiful Dartmoor National Park.

Interactive Activities

To make the virtual walk more fun, our team have created an interactive map so you can see where you are in the country at street level by using Google Street View. To view this map visit Virtual Walk Interactive Google maps.

Our team have also created a fabulous guide full of information and photos of each of the place markers visited on our route, so we can all learn more about the beautiful British Isles.
