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.

    AnnJac I love Willy, what a difference he will make. Particularly impressed that you tried off roading on your first outing!

  • You put me to shame so I shot out to do my happy walk! 

    Its astonishing how the look of the walk has changed since the bare branches of winter

    This tread does encourage us, doesn't it! And so nice to have a pretty happy walk.

  • Hi all, got back from trip to Edinburgh yesterday and have been trying to catch up on a few threads - managed to read some and 'like' a few while away, but no chance to post or read properly. Great photos on here while I've been away, I think my favourite is Willy Wonka, ! Love the name and seems like he's getting you back on the road to freedom! 

    Very sociable visit but also managed a few walks. Nearly blown off a pier on Sunday morning - definitely no cobwebs left to blow away! Calmer walk in the afternoon and loved this Antony Gormley figure.....

     Lucky with weather, chilly wind but some lovely sunshine too. HFxx

  • , how did Antony Gormley get up there? I thought all his figures were in Crosby. Xxxx

  • Lots of clouds so far here, and a bit of faint drizzle first thing so I got out for my walk early before the humidity gets too high, lovely circular walk encompassing fields kept free of livestock to enable the access to a super bend in the river which has a ‘beach’! Then back round the Common
