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.

Dexter didn’t want to get out of bed this morning
Next time we’re in Stokesly Jayhay I’ll take photos of all the bridges over the river from the market centre to riverside homes this one is the pack horse bridge
This is google article
Spanning the River Leven, the Packhorse Bridge is Grade II listed and dates from the 17th century although it probably replaced an earlier bridge. It was on the pannierman route south to Helmsley from Durham, Stokesley being an important market town en route. The high span enabled the river to be crossed in all states of the river. The parapets of the bridge have been raised; when built they were lower to accomodate for the wide panniers carried by the packhorses or jaggers. The trains of between 12 and 40 horses were the juggernauts of the day covering 40 or 50 miles per day, long days. The range of goods carried were enormous: textiles, timber, salt and fish, alum, coal and ironstone. The advent of the railways and the introduction of better roads through the toll system led to the a decline in the use of packhorses.
Wonder which word meant I got the message 
Nala is really cute 
️ I’ve had cats that didn’t get along with cats so understandable especially if she lived 3 years on the streets. So nice that she now has a home and humans of her own.
Northerner Weeell… that bed looks fluffy and warm. Dexter has a point 
moomy Thanks. Lovely pics everyone’s posting here
I give up moomy cant see any trigger word 
Love Dexter in his cosy bed Northerner , definitely tempting today as it’s ‘dreich’ here - I’m back in Edinburgh for a few days. Lovely walk yesterday in Dunbar, blue skies and very windy so all cobwebs blown away! Just skirted the beach as we would have been peppered with sand as it was so windy. Followed path to next village then through woods to the garden centre and of course the cafe. Heading off on solo walk shortly after a cuppa, hopefully it’s just going to drizzle rather than full on rain. Love to all, HFxx
