9 Have you joined the Facebook group?.png

5479 times a day in 2017, every day, someone liked something they saw in the #walk1000miles Facebook group

It's an extraordinary testament to an extraordinarily friendly and fertile group of walkers – exchanging experiences, local expertise, triumphs and, yes, occasionally tragedies. It's been the crucible for hundreds of new friendships. It's been a joy to be a part of – even if the sheer volume of posts has meant we've missed a few updates about our friends' new shoes, office parties and school art projects. Shame.

Among the 2 million likes and interactions, these 10 posts attracted more than most – and if you're new to the group they give a pretty representative primer to the Friendliest Facebook Group on the Planet. Click the pics to see the original post.
