Re: Out and about

Theres nothing where I live to match Britain. Not at all. Especially as I go inland. Farther inland you go and POOF you may as well be on the moon.
I mean it ain't bad either Dave.....but it does not compare to rural emerald green Britain. Not by any stretch of the imagination.

I was astonished to learn how many aircraft had crashed around the Debyshire hills in WW2. Apparently quite a few of them were aircraft being delivered by the lady ferry pilots, forget the numbers but I think in excess of 200. The good thing to come out of that f***in vandal Beeching axing all of those railway tracks is that many of the tracks are now brilliant walking and cycling routes. If anyone asks me how i stay relatively fit at my age I tell 'em to get some good boots on and start walking and increase it every day and after about a month they will start getting fitter, and start taking in the views

Done quite a few of Wainwrights, go past the lake where his ashes were scattered up 'Haystacks' a few times a year. Will be near Harrogate in a couple of weeks time and looking forward to some of Beechings old railway tracks. Shove Covid up their arses as long as i can get out

'Just the view across the fields from my front window this morning would have you drooling Tone!'

Is that because tlo was bent over naked, picking mushrooms in the garden?

Re: Out and about

More like picking mushrooms from her 'Lady Garden'!

Re: Out and about

All during this lockdown I've got out walking every day, trouble is it's all flat round here so not much of a challenge but it's better than nowt. The gym opened up again today, so tomorrow I'm going to suffer a bit with the old lactic acid. Have to do me warm up and mobility exercises to burn it off !

[Pat Harley]

Re: Out and about

All my warm up and mobility exercises are done in bed these days. Horizontal is the way forward!

Re: Out and about

Shaggin iz a gud all round body workout Pat, but mek sure tha uses the full in n out thrust action ta tone up thi six pack. Keepin it guin fer 30 minutes every day shud do the trick!
