If you've had enough of tick-boxing and peak-bagging, not to mention B&Bs, here's an alternative stance on pedestrianism. Phil Smith's book "On Walking: ... and Stalking Sebald: A guide to going beyond wandering around looking at stuff", Triarchy Press 2014, is described thus in the publisher's website:

"On one level 'On Walking...' describes an actual, lumbering walk from one incongruous B&B to the next, taking in Dunwich, Lowestoft, Southwold, Covehithe, Orford Ness, Sutton Hoo, Bungay, Halesworth and Rendlesham Forest - with their lost villages, Cold War testing sites, black dogs, white deer and alien trails ...

"... on a third level, 'On Walking..'. is an intellectual tour de force, encompassing Situationism, alchemy, jouissance, dancing, geology, psychogeography, 20th century cinema and old TV, performance, architecture, the nature of grief, pilgrimage, World War II, the Cold War, Uzumaki, pub conversations, synchronicity, somatics and the Underchalk."

"In 'On Walking...', Phil Smith takes us with him on a walk round Suffolk in the footsteps of W.G. Sebald and, in the process, introduces us to a whole new way of walking and seeing the world while we do it. Along the way, his delightful account takes in: Alchemy, the Bed & Breakfast experience, the Cold War, Dogs, Fanged noumena, Grandfathers, Holey space and Heritage, International Lettristes, Jouissance, Knees, Mist and Mothers, Nomadism, O Lucky Man!, Pilgrimage, Rendelsham Forest, Sex, Signs, Somatics and Simulacra, Transformers, UFOs and Uzumaki, Vulcan, Wrights and Sites, Y gwyr yn erbyn y byd, Zig-zagging."

More, much more, including Phil's and Alyson Hallett's new book 'Walking Stumbling Limping Falling', psychogeography and mythogeography (but not Fanged Noumena), in Triarchy's nicely laid out website.

Phil teaches at Plymouth University.
