So this is it. Finally, the last of 31 walks to raise funds for Prostate Cancer UK and the work they do to research into a disease that affects one in eight men, killing 11000 a year. I, among many others throughout the country, have been pacing 11000 steps a day, a total of 341,000Continue reading “That’s All Folks – March The Month 31”

March The Month – 21
This was a beautiful but familiar walk for me. The route took me across the Exercise Yard exiting through the Oversley portal, the footbridge over the river. Then along the lane and left onto Icknield Way. A few hundred yards then left uphill towards the crest of Oversley Hill. The sun shone. Truly the firstContinue reading “March The Month – 21”
March The Month 18
On Friday I walked with SHWF. We walked from Bourton on the Hill following a circuitous route bringing us back past Sezincote House, apparently the model for The Brighton Pavilion.

March The Month – 3
Aches and pains are beginning to make themselves known. Although now testing negative, Covid has been replaced by a sore hip. So that had a gloop of Voltarol spread over it to get me moving. I also had to pay a quick visit to my slightly-under-the-weather grand daughter. Stuck at home on World Book DayContinue reading “March The Month – 3”
March of The Month – 2
Not the most delightful of days for a walk. The ground was sodden, puddles spread across roads and paths, the rain fell steadily. But on the basis that there is no such thing as bad weather – just inappropriate clothing I roused myself. The forecast inferred that the weather was likely to get worse laterContinue reading “March of The Month – 2”
