Today’s walk it’s all up hill 🌞

8 Replies

Hi everyone,

I like walking in dappled shade when it’s hot and I like this path but usually cut across the forest where it’s harder to walk briskly. My walk this morning was for 73mins 33 briskly and considering it’s a very hot day and up hill the most important thing is to enjoy my walk. What I really like is to sit in the shade and by a stream as thats like natural air conditioning which’s very welcome.

I always feel good after making the effort to go out especially on a hot day like today but we have to pace ourselves and I was huffing and puffing on my way home as it’s up a steep hill.

So enjoy the lovely weather folks but take care in the heat. 🌞

A stream in the shade somewhere very pleasant to be on a scorching hot day. 🌞

Lovely pictures . It looks very steep .good job you were in the shade and a stream in the middle of a forest. Is it the water coming off the slopes .? Pretty shaded. You’ll feel pretty tired especially in the heat. Was working but not as hot as you’ve had it more humid and sunny. 😎

Hi Doris thank you and yes the streams run down through the forest to the rivers in the valleys. If you think that this is steep the path I scramble up is seriously steep! But great for making the ticker pump and we have it seriously hot where I am.😎

It would make my hip and sacroiliac joint hurt which it is just now. I’ll have to reduce my pace a bit . Had a day off today walking but at work so not much rest on feet all day😊 me and hills don’t get on 😊

We have to do what works for us Doris and I think that you do really well with working and still finding time to go for a brisk walk as you’ve done really well especially with your 10K walks and that’s what counts as you will reap the benefits of your efforts 😊
