Ridgeway finished

Just finished the first old trip report  'Ridgeway 2006'

Leg testing days 3 & 4

A week and a half ago I cycled about 3.9 miles around my neighbourhood and started the first on a program of muscle strengthening exercises from here..

Not much to write about, cloudy with a touch of muscle pain.

This week

Sunday I took a 5.6 mile jaunt through the woods to Merry Hill.

Happily, all that ached were my feet!

Overcast, sunny patches, lots of dogs, people and mud.

I took a road route half way around, mainly because I don't like retracing my steps, and came through the expensive part of Bushy.

 

Fond memories

27 kilograms!
+ food!

Transcribing an old trip report is bringing back some memories and reminding me how David has grown! (And how my pack-weight over the years has shrunk!)

'The Ridgeway' was the first trip I took David on. He was only 10 years old. Bless. Must show his girlfriend...

Butter wouldn't melt...

On a bit of a mission

Mrs. Knee has found out our local council (Harrow) has decided to do away with funding for a lot of our local voluntary care services (MIND, Age Concern, Association for the Disabled, Citizens Advice Bureau, etc...).

These services do a lot to support the more vulnerable amongst us as well as taking a load off our strapped-for-cash NHS.

To this end Mrs. Knee has launched an on line petition with the aid of '38 degrees' to get the council to think again.
