Walk – Hardcastle Crags Via Salem

Another sunny day, another sunny walk with Lisa. We took the riverside walk via Salem to Midgehole…

Road Ride – Old Town and Mill Bank

We are having a spell of nice sunny spring weather here at the moment. That’s especially good news for the weekend because I am meeting up with a few of my cycling buddies to do a favourite local cycling event – Spring Into The Dales. I wanted to get out for a while this afternoon, [...]

Walk – Mytholmroyd, Crow Nest Wood

Late this afternoon, I did another quick hilly stroll with Lisa. I didn’t take any photographs this time because the light wasn’t very good. We did our usual stroll along the Calder Valley Cycleway, turned up along the road above Nest Estate, and gradually climbed up to Wood Top. We often go up the cobbled [...]

Walk – Callis Wood, Kilnshaw Lane, Weasal Hall

Road Ride – Haworth Loop With Extras!

I’ve had a lazy week (no exercise for 6 days – yikes !). It was a sunny day here, so  I was determined to get out on my bike today. Various things delayed me, so I didn’t set off until 16:00. I only caught the tail end of the sunshine, and then it started to [...]

Cricked Neck

My neck has been stiff and sore off and on for about a year, but yesterday something happened to it (I’m not sure what)  and it got quite painful. I’ve been finding it difficult to turn my head to the left today. It’s definitely a muscular thing, like the muscles on the left are going [...]

Weight Loss Progress – Week 13

I started this year weighing 220.0 pounds (15 stone 10.0 pounds, 99.8 kg). Last week, I weighed 209.4 pounds (14 stone 13.4 pounds, 95.0 kg). This week, I weigh 208.1 pounds (14 stone 12.1 pounds, 94.4 kg). That’s a loss of 1.3 pounds, or 0.6 kg. Total weight loss so far is 11.9 pounds or [...]
