"Aussie Coastal Bushwalk" Conquer 2022 Virtual Challenge Progress September 1, 2022

More often than not, my in depth progress check was not in depth at all!  I still posted my purposeful distances, saw that I remained ahead of plan, saved it on my google map and that was that.   When I did do a deep dive, I discovered I made a gross mistake in the distance between my "start" point and my planned "finish" point.  But first things first, at the end of the day September 1st, I have covered 1470 kms of my 2022 kms goal as you can see my chart.

This map shows what I accomplished so far and as you can see I am now virtually at Wallagoot which is only 105 kms north of the border between New South Wales and Victoria.  That border was my planned finish location. I calculated that border to be 2022 kms from where I started at South Stradbroke Island which is not the case with the route I planned to take.

I had to revamp my plan! The orange tack just north of the border is my current location and the orange line after the tack is now the route I plan to take.  The orange line above the tack is the route I covered already except I did not veer inland to Canberra the capital, I virtually hugged the coastline instead.

From this day forward, I will carry on with reaching the goal of covering 2022kms in 2022, yet I will be doing this without a planned finish location.  Where I end up is where I will end up! If I reach my goal before the end of day December 31st, I will continue to move west and track my distance whatever it may be.   

I still have my eye on this medal with confidence I will conquer 2022!

The Conqueror People are beginning to put thoughts of Conquer 2023 out there.  No more year conquering for me!  I will consider a challenge or two or three though if there are offers of interest, such as The Icefields Parkway!
