6,000km since records begun

last week i passed the 6000km mark based on my weekly pedometer recordings (which started february 2004). i’m currently averaging 80km/week.
Assuming i’d started in london and could walk directly that would have got me to (and beyond) the United Arab Emeriates, Bermuda, Ethiopia or Washington DC and i should reach Pakistan some time this week.
Not far to go until i’m at Congo. (see here for city distance calculator)

there was some big festival thing today on the thames to mark Nelson’s death (or the battle of trafalgar or something).
there were loads of rowing boats going by

some little boats had teeny weeny canons, causing worryment when they were let off in the middle of london as they went by

and these chaps seemed to be eating sushi (just like in napoleons time)

and there were also lots of canal boats

a big pile of photos

here’s a pile of photos i found on tottenham court road

some have writting on the back explaining what they are:
