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.
Not much walking in this heat! Managed a walk to next town and back with friend on Tuesday, we left early and walked by the river in the shade, so was bearable. Good to be out! Had brunch at our favourite cafe, in the shade. Today is cooler so will walk the dog soon for a little longer than past few days. Mainly in woods so can keep cool. Only one photo, reflections in the river. Love to all, HFxx

We are away in the Lakes. Photo of the view from our apartment attached.

Ooh thank you Northerner. We might take a look at that. No we have made no plans for the day so far. We just had a wonderful swim in the pool. It really hurt my arm at first but I managed 6 lengths in the end.

We have just got back from Penrith Show
We had a great time although I was very worried about the cattle and sheep who had no water in their pens.
Managed to crack my head on the metal bound hard plastic luggage shelf on the park and ride coach. Now lying on the settee with a blinding headache!!
