Now everyone is more health-conscious and doing something about it, it would be good if we knew just how far we are walking/jogging/ cycling.

The answer is cheap and simple. Before the Undercliff walk reopens, install 500m and kilometre marker posts (or vandal-proof milestones) east and west from the Palace Pier for the entire length of the sea front from Saltdean to the Hove lagoon.

Perhaps local health clubs or other organisations could sponsor them?

Or the council might be persuaded to do something about it.

It is encouraging to know just how far you have been able to walk and, as a result of last weekend's push "to walk an extra mile". It would perhaps give those not so inclined an incentive to get started.
