Half a pound on, half a pound back off again, no overall change. An uninspiring week – a 21 mile hilly bike ride plus a couple of pretty easy walks. I’m still 14 stone 13.1 pounds (209.1 pounds, 94.8 kg). The OJ-ometer still shows a total loss of 6 litres of OJ! I feel deep [...]
It was a nice sunny day and gloomy, chilly, wet days are forecast for next week so I should have been really motivated to do a good cycle ride today. I wasn’t! My continuing post-winter malaise is proving hard to shed. In fact, I sat indoors most of the day working on my burgeoning website [...]
I did another quick stroll up to Heptonstall with Lisa today. This time we walked up the very steep Moss Lane and turned right at the top and followed the footpath-through-the-garden (literally just that – it must be very odd to have strangers wandering across your land, but that is what comes of buying a [...]
Today I did a repeat of the recent Callis Wood/Horsehold Wood walk with Lisa. Conditions were a bit muddier today than they were last time, but still not too bad. What wasn’t quite so good was realising that I had forgotten to clean and dry my walking boots after Sunday’s squelchy walk. Result? Dirty, smelly [...]
Once again – half a pound on, and half a pound back off again. It felt as though I’d had another lazy week, exercise-wise, but I’ve just checked and I did more than I remembered doing – a 25 mile hilly bike ride and 3 walks of 1, 2 and 4 hours in duration. Not [...]
It was a nice day, quite mild, not too much wind and there were frequent sunny spells. I’d promised Lisa that I’d do a ‘proper’ walk with her today, rather than the shorter strolls that we’ve been doing of late. We set off at lunchtime on the number 500 Keighley bus from Hebden Bridge, intending [...]
Another sunny walk! It felt almost Summer-like today despite it being only just about the start of Spring. Lisa and I walked up through Nutclough Woods to Dodd Naze, then left up a stretch of Wadsworth Lane, and right onto Burlees Lane. We ended up in Burlees Wood, found a footpath that neither of us [...]
A quick stroll with Lisa today, with a quick wrote-up in the blog! Route: Rochdale canal, Mytholm, Colden Clough, Lumb Bank, Heptonstall, Heptonstall Road, Lee Wood Road, Moss Lane, Hebden Bridge. I remembered to duck below the tree overhanging the footpath between Heptonstall Road and Lee Wood Road this time! From putting my walking boots [...]
