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:

  1. Post when you have walked.
  2. Post how many minutes you walked for.
  3. Post how you felt before, during or after. Or not at all.
  4. Post pictures from your walk, but ones that do not point to where you live.
  5. Post inspirational quotes, thoughts or comments.
  6. A simple like of people’s efforts is fine. No need to write an essay unless you feel the need.
  7. 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.

  • Love the tree photos, and (plus cute robin), also the flowers , and very impressed with your London trek

    Finally got out for a decent walk today with friend, definitely blew the cobwebs away as it was very gusty at times! 

    River, small lake, muddy paths, nothing spectacular but pleasant counntry walk to garden centre (drove partway this week so a much nicer walk), perfect break for tea and scone then headed back a slightly shorter return route. 

    Happy weekend walking all, HFxx

    Looks lovely and scones are my favourite!

  • Just noticed that I put a photo in twice! Oh well.... Yes I am very fond of scones and it's one of the few things I can bake quite well too! The garden centre does all sorts of cakes but it's always a scone for me.

  • Hi all

    Well, I don't seem to be getting notifications for this thread - I thought it was quiet. 

    Great photos and great walking.

    I did my first "urban hike" yesterday. I'm optimistically saying first! We did 12 miles along the Regents canal - with a detour up Primrose Hill, a stop for lunch and another for a coffee. Then a pub at the end! I was very tired even though it was quite a slow pace.

    Dragon boating today - I'm exhausted now and would quite like a nap but I know that's not good for me in the long run so I'm trying to keep busy!! 

    No good photos but here's one of the view from Primrose hill - I love telecom tower, no idea why.

    Hope you've all had a good weekend!

  • You might be experiencing my problem, Ronstar, I haven’t had notifications for years! Mind you I’m not worried as when it all kicked off I was getting so many notifications it was driving me nuts, every two or three SECONDS!
