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.
Pooley bridge for our walk today ….
What gorgeous photos ladies…wonderful skiesNortherner,and HappyFeet1Le pouvrecanard!please excuse my French,Lacomtekp!

Stunning photos Northerner, and apologies for missing the React button first time - pressed the bl**** Flag to Moderator by mistake. It’s so maddening that it’s so close!! Hopefully if it’s taken down it’ll go back up again soon.
Go Violetsniff, at the rifle range!! And lovely flowers.
Long walk today through woods, fields and country estate. Picnic lunch in a village park then coffee in a cafe and use of toilets! (Long walk home again). Got pretty soaked at one point on way back but still managed to collect a decent amount of brambles. Might be the last as many bushes were clearly ‘done’. Cute ponies on the way. Xx
How was the move HappyFeet1?
thinking of your mum & dad…x
Hi ,all,

Beautiful photos Violetsniff and what a lovely day out. Look forward to photos of your trip Jayhay, loved the Isle of Wight on my one visit nearly 40 years ago, taking a group of girls from the youth club where I worked. Most of them had never been out of London, it was perfect as it felt like going abroad but without all the hassle.
Animal pics from me: new arrivals in the meadow behind our house; heron and swan family from nearby dog walk; unusual visitor in the car park before a Nordic walk! Xx
What a lovely location to live HappyFeet1, fabulous photos xx
