A slow walk on Sunday.

[paxo05]

Decided on a walk on Sunday. It was a nice day so went on the edge of th Peak District. Didn't manage far and took a while to complete. Took a pic half way round when we had a break....ok ok and a little nap in the sun.

Lovely day lovely walk.

looks lovely, i'm a fairly slow walker now, though due to fitness, I don't slow uphills i.e. my walking pace is balance limited rather than fitness, so steep hills is the only place i'm "fast" as such.

[paxo05 in reply to RogerCMerriman]

Mines a standard speed....slow. This is due to pain and having a vague idea where my left legs is. If I try and speed up I only speed up with my right leg...Then I tend to fall over.

It's just nice to get out and into fresh air.

Ah no pain here, bar emotional when I get overtaken by little white hair woman...

Though it is only one leg that doesn't listen to my brain as well. Oddly fine on a bike meh!

[paxo05 in reply to RogerCMerriman]

I find tripping up the old ladies slows them down.

As for bikes...Good at going in circles....Oh then falling off.

Oooh I have envy I love the peak district as I'm a Derbyshire girl, it looks beautiful and why not have a nap in the sun

[paxo05 in reply to Hidden]

It was other end of the peaks this time near Stocksbridge. Usually go round fox house or Edale.

Love the peaks.

[Hidden in reply to paxo05]

I think with such beautiful surroundings it just makes you chill right down

[paxo05 in reply to Hidden]

Feel like I need to. But you are right best place to chill.

[Hidden in reply to paxo05]

I know when I've been out in the countryside, its felt like I could breath and the weights on my shoulders are not so heavy, if that makes sense

[paxo05 in reply to Hidden]

It makes perfect sense as I feel the same.

[Hidden in reply to paxo05]

Is that Underbank reservoir Paxo? Just wondered with you saying it's at Stocksbridge end. At first i thought it might be up near the Strines pub.

[paxo05 in reply to Hidden]

Close it's Langsett. The next reservoir on. Sat at American farm looking towards the dam.

[Hidden in reply to paxo05]

Ah right no worries great pic 😁

Pretty jealous Pax 'cause I've spent many wonderful days in the Peaks, but still can walk very far with this bl**dy broken foot. And the weather's been so lovely. Glad you made it though .........and great photo ! xxx

[Hidden in reply to cat3]

How are you doing Cat xx

[cat3 in reply to Hidden]

Ok thanks m'dear. It'll be three weeks tomorrow so I'm getting there (seems a shame wishing my life away whilst the weathers so nice).

Managing to potter around, make meals & do light chores............roll on May 3rd when I'm back at the clinic.

Thanks for asking Angie..........you take care ! xx

[Hidden in reply to cat3]

I'm glad your ok Cat the time will fly by try not to think about it. I know that's easier said than done xx

Sending you big hugs xxx

Not been able to go far at moment due to still finding breathing a problem. Chest has cleared up but still find it hard to breath deeply.

Was hoping fresh air would help. Plus I want to get back to volunteering as a walk leader. Although we don't walk far I don't want to be leading the walk from the back.

Looking forward to taking paints along one day as I haven't painted for a year or two.

we are so lucky with the Peak District on our doorstep personally I love the Edges : Stanage: Curbar, Froggatt etc - shame I can't walk them anymore

[paxo05 in reply to Hidden]

I agree they are great. Thought I would never get up there again. It takes a lot of planning but you can get there. Started at Stan age. ....Well car park and a little stage down the path followed by a loooooonng rest then nearly crawled back.

Was it worth it??????? Oooohhh yes.

Lovely, Pax.

I took my boys camping in the Peaks last year, and (as I was well at the time) we climbed up one of the hills. A mountain, it was, apparently. It's lovely and can't wait to get back this summer for another few nights under canvas.

[paxo05 in reply to malalatete]

You never tried Kinder Scout? Well done where ever you went

[malalatete in reply to paxo05]

Some really small hill near Ashbourne. My boys legged it up to the top, found a crag to sit on so they could watch me stagger along! I don't think it was anywhere of particular note but it was a gorgeous view up there. I might be more able this summer though after a year's practice going up and down Steep Hill here in Lincoln!

[paxo05 in reply to malalatete]

Steep hill lives up to its name. My daughters at Lincoln uni and have been up and down that hill...slowly.
