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:
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.
We did a proper walk at last......following the tourist office trails we did the 5km circuit of Lauzerte. It was harder than you might imagine as hill top villages have very steep access!
Fabulous photos all, love your postcard compilations Lacomtekp.
How lovely to meet up Tired Minion and Mag123, beautiful gardens.
Have been walking with friend who stayed with us for a week, often talking too much for photos! Saw loads of butterflies on a walk earlier this week - here are my Marbled White and Comma if you can spot them! Xx
Things said by others who haven’t endured the same as us can be very hurtful,but I am sure he didn’t mean to hurt you,Spindrift.
To All,my quizzy-quiz for today-Can you guess where I have been….?
Was hoping to post photos of Skelton village show ,the first since covid . approx 10000 expected visitors so is classed as one of the largest shows to be classed as Village show . Weather stepped in with area specific rain storm ( no rain two mile away ) ground became a sodden quagmire. Set up tractors stuck at 6.30am so decision made to cancel .
we found out at 9am
Had already made picnic ( don’t eat from catering vans ) and put evening meal in slow cooker . So where to go decided on Gretna Via motorway but return by Solway coast road more of drive than walk . Showery with gusty winds .
plus local traffic heavy
Love this road ..it a tidal area so there are poles stating if water here it is 4/6/8 ft deep so can be nerve racking if unusual high tides arrive
