The #walk1000miles badge is a magical thing – it marks you out to other 1000-milers and leads to chance meetings that are always exciting. It serves as a reminder to you of your epic quest, and it becomes charged up with memories of the thousands of things you’d never have seen or done if you weren’t out walking. It will fade as it ages like a favourite pair of jeans – cherish its every blemish (and maybe keep one for best).

Highly coveted and something you’ll treasure (honestly!), you won’t have felt this excited about a badge since your sixth birthday!
