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.

  • What wonderful views , haven’t been to west coast for a while sadly. How lovely to be able to see over to Arran! 
    Here are my blues: sky, dog harness and sky reflection.... Blue again for tomorrow, then  would you like to choose the next colour for Wednesday and Thursday? I’m sorry I can’t remember who’s chosen and when but it doesn’t really matter! And meant to say also, love the ‘Easter eggs’ , very clever!

  • Cold here too  but further south so not quite so low! Bright blue skies again today, I didn’t go far either yesterday but walk with picnic planned for today. With scarves and hats! That totem pole looks amazing. Wemyss Bay brings back happy memories of a Haven caravan site on the hill - lovely Easter holiday there with my sisters and all the kids (all grown up now)crammed into a caravan there. Lovely views of the Isle of Bute and a day trip there on the boat. 
    White sounds good for tomorrow and Thursday . Xxx
