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:

Post when you have walked.
Post how many minutes you walked for.
Post how you felt before, during or after. Or not at all.
Post pictures from your walk, but ones that do not point to where you live.
Post inspirational quotes, thoughts or comments.
A simple like of people’s efforts is fine. No need to write an essay unless you feel the need.
On a safety note. Do tell friends, family or the thread when you leave and return safely. Be aware of your personal safety at all times.

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.

Afternoon everyone, haven't done much walking lately it’s been too hot and joints have been playing up, off for bone scan next week to see what’s happening. Today we had a lovely afternoon tea at Stoneleigh Abbey, and then a lovely walk around the grounds.

beautiful photos and just love the brilliant quote at the end. Just back from the gym - no walking outside as now torrential rain here in west of Scotland. Long overdue so not complaining, well not as long as the sun comes out again soon.

love to all, Lesley xxx

Hi,

Stoneleigh was off my route to work before I got married, I helped run a hand injury unit at Coventry and Warwickshire Hospital. Phew, memories!

lovely photos.

My favourite return from walking into town gives this view, almost permanently shaded which is why it’s still a bit green!

Tried to upload a photo of brown grass just beyond this part of my walk, site refused telling me it was too big a file! Taken with the phone as these were? How come it’s ‘too big’?

moomy...the technicalities are beyond the realm of human understanding...I have found that you just have to ObeyThem and go along with them.Another time it may print them.Have you got anything on your phone to edit and reduce the photos in the meantime ?xmeanwhile,this is me after a half hour in the gym...where I am glad to say,I felt a lot more energy today...the trainer says that means I am getting fitter...xx

Hi Violetsniff,

I’m glad to see you have sustenance at the ready, lol!

No, I can’t be bothered to fiddle around with photos, it’s bad enough trying to get them to post, what with umpteen ‘file not found’ messages and then popping a stupid tiny blank square on, then another file not found and then suddenly, bingo, it posts! Same file, so how come it can’t find it?????

i think the site was better before it got broken in the name of progress! I wonder what they pay the tech folk? Obviously they need to employ folk who really DO know how to write programs!

That will probably get ‘moderated’ and I will get a slap on the wrist and told to sit on the naughty step! Oh, and ‘copy and paste’ doesn’t seem to want to work either!

Hi All

I have sent a message to the Techies via Admin about the pics issues and linked it to the madness of one of my pics being normal size and the other gigantic.

Happy Friday
