    Time to Rant

    Its finally happened, the world has gone totally insane. I had to drive miles yesterday to get enough petrol to drive back home again, what was the point? Over the last few weeks I have sat on the sidelines of society watching as it gradually sinks into an oblivion, and not the fun, theme park kind. At the beginning of…

    Never Give Up

    Greetings fellow travellers in time, I hope you are rested and well as I begin my tale.  Where have you been oh mighty guru, I hear you cry (hopefully).  Well, my friends much has changed since we last communed and my life has been a whirlwind.  Last time I wrote this blog we were still in lockdown, although there were…

    Healthy Living

    Another week another set of rules and a slight revision to a road map that no one understands anyway.  But we just carry on and hope for the best, I mean what else is there?  So dear followers, how are you all coping?  Have you lost weight, gained weight, got fitter, got lazier?  It’s been one of the biggest changes…

    Solo walking safely

    You may have noticed a distinct lack of blog last week and while I’d like to say there was a glitch in the matrix and technical issues forced me not to post anything, I’d be lying.  In fact, last week I just lost all motivation and couldn’t bring myself to write anything.  I’m not looking for sympathy or anything here,…

    Walking Without Injury

    I’ve now officially had more weeks off work due to lockdowns than I have taken holiday in the 12 years I’ve been doing my job.  That’s a sobering thought.  I wonder how much longer it will continue.  Although I’m not in my clinic treating people, I still try to help people online as much as I can and I still…

    The right shoe for the right purpose

    Let me take you back, my friends, to a time in history before all of this existed.  Ug the caveman scrambled out of his cave at first light, strapped some animal hide to his feet, picked up his pointy stick and headed off in search of breakfast.  Unfortunately, the rains from the night before had left everywhere really muddy and…

    Healthy Eating and Stretches

    Welcome once again fellow travellers on life’s path to yet more of my thoughts, experiences, and ramblings.  I wrote some time ago about my keto journey and my experiences with a low carb diet and at the time things were going well but it was early days.  I thought it was time to update you on my findings and pass…

    Lockdown Routines

    I opened my eyes the other morning in the semi dark to another day of tedium.  Its getting to the point where I have to check the calendar to see what day it is, one day is much like the next.  I don’t even bother with an alarm anymore; I know I’ll be awake by 8am or thereabouts and I…

    Walking Incentives

    I love to walk, you may have already figured that out if you have been paying attention, and despite the weather I still like to pull on my boots and get outside in the fresh air, but not everyone is like me, apparently. So, what is going to make you get up, strap on some boots, climb into a waterproof…

    How far? How to walk 1000 miles.

    A thousand miles? Are you mad?  The first time I undertook this challenge I was met with shock and horror from most people I spoke to about it.  It wasn’t as if I was doing it all in one go!  But a thousand miles does seem a long way, I mean its only 874 miles from Lands End to John…
