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.

Northerner what a fabulous day you’ve had, breathtaking views and the canal looks so pretty xx
Lowther castle for a walk on the estate and lunch in courtyard today


last photo is Jersey cows at ice cream farm on way home
Looking great Northerner! I guess the ice cream was to die for,!!
I’ve not walked far, up and down the garden, been hitting apples off the trees so we can make juice tomorrow, a young helper too - one of our granddaughters, 9. Be fun.
dug up potatoes - smallish and the ground was so dry, fortunately soft around the potatoe plants and like rock in between.


Fab photos everyone! Can’t go back as far as I’d like but loving the flowers, animals, boats and views! And great photo of you Northerner, as well as your lovely ‘offspring’ moomy.
Walked with friend yesterday, in open countryside and on a nature reserve. Finished with tea and a scone at the garden centre where we park.
