Walk – Callis Wood to Horsehold
Another sunny day, and another roundabout trip to the shops with pal Lisa. We took the same route as this walk. It was a lovely spring afternoon and it was good to be out in the fresh air making the most of it.

Road Ride – Hilly 52 Miler
I saw that the weather forecast for today was looking good so I planned a good strenuous local bike ride and managed to get two cyclists from the CycleChat forum to join me. I met Will (forum name Bokonon) and Martin (forum name goodspeed) at Hebden Bridge railway station, Will having come in by train, [...]

Walk – Colden Clough Via Heptonstall

Walk – Mytholmroyd and Back
I wanted to get out for a while but didn’t fancy anything too strenuous so I did a brisk walk to Mytholmroyd along the Calder Valley Cycleway this afternoon. I came back via the unmade road up towards the cobbled climb to Old Chamber, and then dropped back down behind Hebden Bridge station and walked [...]

I’m not going to report my weight for last week because I have been away and didn’t have access to my scales. I normally take 7 daily readings and average them to arrive at a representative figure for the week. Let me just say that I was pleasantly surprised to find that I’d actually managed [...]
A Few Brisk Strolls
I went to visit an old friend on the Friday and Saturday evenings. It’s a 20 minute brisk stroll each way so that is about 75-80 minutes total over the two evenings.
