The Norwich Park Runs start next week, looking forward to them. At a wedding next weekend though so won't be able to go until week 2.

Enjoy it when you can get there. Personally, I prefer running to weddings, but sometimes have to be sociable. At least cousin's in August is at his fiance's family's farm in Yorkshire, where we can camp - best weddings always involve camping 🙂

Well done everybody! We have made the journey from Skipton to Liverpool, via Todmorden, Preston, Blackpool and Southport - 137 miles! That leaves us with 4 miles left over for a leisurely pub crawl of Liverpool! We deserve it!

Brighouse, my home town:

Todmorden, in the Pennines (yes, it really is still in black and white!):

catching up

I'm late to this thread but regularly do 10 k on my exercise bike, six days a week (today's my day off). Scenery isn't fantastic which is why I'm seriously considering dog ownership. As a fellow northerner, pleased you're spending some time in Blackpool but what's wrong with my old haunt, Derbyshire?

Haven't posted on this thread for a while. Still doing 4 dog walks Saturday and Sunday, total 8 miles. Work walking the site everyday, at least one mile/day - does that count?

Nothing wrong with Derbyshire at all! In fact we'll be doing quite a tour as we're heading back across the Pennines next on our way to Sheffield and doing quite a bit of the Peak District, my old stamping ground! 🙂

It all counts Ron, I'll count you in for 13 miles this past week to contribute to the next leg from Liverpool! 🙂

plea for Bakewell

Consider stopping over in Bakewell and I'll treat everyone to a slice of Bakewell pudding (notice no mention of tart) plus a Derbyshire oatcake, even better than the Staffordshire variety.

I was in Todmorden for business reasons a few years back and you're right, it is still in black and white! Didn't Brighouse have a famous brass band once upon a time?

They played on Terry Wogan's 'Floral Dance'. More famous in the region is the Black Dyke Mills brass band.

Lots of my relatives are from Todmorden, hence the stopover! 🙂
 
Wanted to perticipate in this for a long time, but have been really inactive. Today, finally, I did 60 mins of stepper while watching IT crowd.....does this count???🙂
 
Not sure how it would figure in this, but I'm doing about 5 miles every day, as measured by my pedometer.
Last week's total was 33.31 miles and 5.65 miles so far today.

Rob
 
4 miles walking for me today.

Hmm, 'bout time I wheeled the rower out again too. It's only seen the light of day once last month!

Andy
 
Been busy on a course lately, but can add another 15 miles on a mixture of crosstrainer, rower and bike.

(Do you prefer distances in miles or km, Northener?)

I'm adept at conversion these days, but tend to think in miles! 🙂 Well done on all your good work!

Thanks.🙂

While we are on the subject of measuring things,
I weigh my food in grammes but bake in ounces,
buy cold meat in quarters, but teach grammes,
and teach metres/kilometres, but buy material in yards!

Weird or what??? 😱
