Stroll – Heptonstall Again!

Just another of those short posts documenting any exercise I’ve had… My pal Bill is back for his annual summer holiday in Hebden Bridge and turned up this morning. We sat around in the sunshine having a chat as he tried to sort out my Basso’s rear wheel but like me, he couldn’t undo the [...]

Stroll – Rochdale Canal Towpath

Not much to report here, but I’m including it because I want to maintain an unbroken account of what exercise I do. Lisa and I were going to the local Co-op to do our shopping this afternoon, but we had an hour free so we spent that wandering along the canal towpath towards Callis Bridge [...]

Stroll – Testing My New Walking Shoes

It was a nice sunny day but I was busy working at home on the computer when Lisa rang. Did I fancy a quick stroll up to Heptonstall with her? Actually, I did! I wanted a break from the PC and I also wanted to test my new walking shoes which had arrived yesterday. I [...]

Stroll – Heptonstall

I felt a bit yucky this morning but in a rare display of good taste, I’ll spare you the unpleasant details…
