Got my trotting challenge for Blooming June over on Bridge with Floss.So that’s sorted and just got to do it.Wk1 done✅.(Two hour continuous trot.)

Floss has opened up the scope and given me ideas.Thank you Floss.

I have just got round 200m of boundary hedge and it is tidy but not shaped and becoming a monster and of course hedges will always run away from you if left unattended.

I have decided to reduce the height to 6 feet and recover the proper shape.It will be a lot of heavy lopping and cutting and will take weeks but if not now when.I am sure the hedge will bounce back but if not it maybe removal and major fencing time.Either way

Onwards and upwards.

🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️⭐️⭐️👏👏💪💪🙏🙏

Congratulations Tbae on completing the June Blooming Bridge Challenge with Floss.

That is a large hedge you have, trimming it down to 6 feet will get it to be more manageable to trim from now on.

Well done on trotting for two hours, the longest I have ran for is just under one and a quarter hours on running the 7/10Ks that I have ran, next month I will start running longer distances, I think at my around 35 minute 5K pace time, if I ran for 2 hours I would cover about 16K/10 miles, but as I have never ran for 2 hours that might be a bit optimistic.

I have not been able to get to Milngavie, Dunfermline or Helensburgh because of travel restrictions so all my walks, runs and bike rides have all been done locally, I do have a great choice near to where I live, quite a lot of country roads to walk or cycle and plenty of parkland away from traffic including that loch where I can run off road, I hope you are keeping well and keep on as you say"trotting"😊🏃🏾

Sounds like a lot of rubbish to haul away - good upper body and core conditioning 😄

Your right Linda😱.2 full builders bags just getting a start off the first half meter, so 4/meter x 200m = 800 bags.😱Say 30 bags / trailer load , so 30 trailer loads.😱Thanks for making me think.Got to generate 2 trailer loads a week and tip it.

So that’s 2021 fully booked already.This is an 18 month challenge.😱🤣🤣

That’s a good workout and it’ll be very satisfying when it’s done. I hope there are no little birdies in that hedge Tbae 🐣🐥

Yes that is a worry IP.I have 32 years experience and can easily jump passed in good time , leave it uncut for several meters. It might take me 6 months to 18 months to get round so plenty flexibility.Someone might find me one day with the blackbirds.😱😂
