Walk Like a Man

BySouthportRed

Since the Walking Weekend at the very end of August, I’ve found it really hard to get back to the level of walking I was doing before. I went up to Stocks Reservoir the weekend after the Wales trip and really struggled to do a walk that, previously, I would have expected to do easily. Finally, after a few weeks of strolls around Lytham, I went out today feeling good.

It may not sound much, but 6.2 miles in 2hrs 2mins was pretty good for me, and I got back feeling OK too.

I’m chuffed!

We have a subscription to The Guardian and a subscription to The Times and I usually read John Crace’s diary piece in The Guardian on Prime Minister’s Questions and sometimes Tom Peck’s sketch in The Times. For those who are unaware, the centrepiece of PMQs…

    The UK’s drift to the outer limits of right wing politics continues with the installation of Elizabeth Orban Bolsonaro Truss as our new overlord Prime Minister. Apparently 80,000 white male old people selected this person to be leader of the Conservative party and, hence, the supreme leader. With luminaries like Suella Braverman (somewhat to the…

    A cold, still day today so I’ve been for a walk with Heather this morning, through Lytham Hall grounds, down Green Drive along the coastal path to Granny’s Bay and home. Just short of 6.5 miles. Up to 14.3 miles so far. I’ll keep on going through January and see how far I get. (Camino…
