Walk Like a Man

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!

  • Rain, rain and more rain!

    The weather is still dreadful. This afternoon it just poured and poured so no walkies. Also loads of work on as I do a complete revamp of one of the websites which I maintain. http://luxuryhandles.co.uk is going to look beautiful and hopefully do another substantial increase in turnover for Master Lock and Safe. All this…
