Well. Welcome to this thread.
You may be surprised why it is here or happy it is here. Then again: ‘You have got to be joking! Do you know what is wrong with me?’ may be your response.
This all began on the Extreme Fatigue thread. On there several people wanted and needed inspiration/incentive to get out and walk. Many people see the benefits of it in their life and to help on this; mad journey, train ride, rollercoaster ride and other positively rude words journey called Breast Cancer.
It is not a thread created to make anyone feel less than they do at present. It is not a thread that will set people against one another. Being competitive with yourself or a simple challenge to yourself is the point, but not a race against others is a key premis.
The idea is that you can do any of these or none:
Well here goes.
Either it will grow and blossom, with lots of lovely people benefiting. Or I will have egg all over my face – not for the first time in my chequered life and career.
Leolady – may be adding in the odd gallop to my walks.
PS if you don't like us don't be cruel.
We’re spending time laughing at the mad March hares
in Cumbria
Happy Sunday everyone xx
Love the mad Match hares Northerner ! And what dramatic photos Mag123 as well as a very long walk, hope aches have eased today. How lovely to be near such great scenery.
No long walks in last few days but clocked up a few miles with dog walks and taking car for MOT! Walked into next town, sat in nice cafe with a cuppa, then back again. Not a very scenic route as mainly by road but got a few photos from the path by the road. Love to all, HFxx
Love the pic of the moody clouds. Very dramatic Happyfeet1.
Off to Alnwick Gardens and the Treetop Restaurant today. Second part of our Christmas present from our eldest child. Really excited.
Enjoy the castle and gardens Mag123 we love that area I like to wander Alnwick and visit the Barter bookshop for a browse and cuppa . We have a week booked at nearby Beadnell in June as we at a wedding in Newton Hall ..after looking at cost for overnight at hall it was cheaper to stop for week nearby and gain a holiday. Although it only 1hour 15 mins from home it means we can explore the greater area .
yesterdays castle photos very dramatic it looks like Dunstanburgh lovely walk
Northerner well spotted. Yes the castle is Dunstanburgh. The sound and smell of the sea was amazing!
We haven't been to Beadnell. Will have to check it out
Northerner I love your idea of watching the mad March hares!!Lovely xx

Keep trying to get video of them boxing but they’re so skittish and are off at the first sign of movement . They’re larger than Dexter
when the park is quiet they come out in groups and race around like children at playtime
Lovely walk at waterpark this am. Warm in spite of rain, able to sit outside and watch birds.Lots of good recordings. Trying to distinguish calls of all the various tits, not easy! Saw a pair of nesting swans. All you can see on the photo is a white blob! Xxx
Onwards and flatwards (don't do hills) and keep walking if you can!
Lovely to see the swans nesting seaspirit44 . And hope your day trip went well Mag123 , what a great present!
Dog walk today yielded Mr Heron just down the road, haven’t seen him on that stretch of the river before. And a host of daffodils from a path beside some rescue horses. No Nordic walk for me tomorrow as hubs has Covid. I’m negative so far but will not risk passing it on. Hey ho!
