This is an amazing project

Keep it up! Fun to explore part of the world through a local's eyes and the prism of watches. Very original idea.

Thanks for your support

Thanks for updating! Maybe revisit...

 
 By: Ronald Held : January 16th, 2021-11:56
Some of the walks in a different season?

I'm sad to see it end.

 
 By: mkvc : January 16th, 2021-12:07
A magnum opus, to be sure, and a great pleasure both horologically and naturalistically. Many thanks to you and your early-rising spouse.

Thank you very much; it has become a habit for us, but we are running out of new places

 
 By: cazalea : January 16th, 2021-12:13
It's got to be interesting, not too far, not too busy, a bit rural with birds and animals, no harassment, etc.

Iโ€™ve worn out some shoes

 
 By: cazalea : January 16th, 2021-14:49
Maybe 400,000 steps or so

As epic as one frequently gets with you ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

 
 By: KMII : January 16th, 2021-21:55
Simply wow ๐Ÿคฉ Will take me a while to get through the walks ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

Not going to be the same...

 
 By: Ronald Held : January 17th, 2021-12:34
