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.

You must be exhausted HappyFeet1 ! xx

Onwards and flatwards (don't do hills) and keep walking if you can!

Short local walk this morning, and managed to get to Tai Chi tonight. Very tired, but enjoyed it. Chaotic day, with electricians coming and going at odd times, and the skip man could not get through all the cars, and gave up and went away without knocking on the door. We were both in, and we need the drive clear for a delivery tomorrow. Cockwomble!!!

Love to all. X

What a pain, Seaspirit! But well done on getting some exercise anyway. (Bet your brain was exercised with the annoyance about the skip?!)

Moomy......it counts as much as my walking today. We drove the ' corniche' or coast road from France to Spain. What a spectacle......from ports to hill tops on roads often built out over cliff side!

I thought you might all like to see some so I will try and load them but may have to make several messages to give you the effect.....hold onto your hats,....wigs.....regrowing hair!

The cliff route
