Thank you , I wish I could but am prone to falls and quite unbalanced due to one sided weakness.

I am very happy with my little gym, it has a recumbent Air Walker included. At the moment I am only able to do a few 100 steps, more than 500 steps in a day would result in me needing to recover for a few days with large pain increase. So any extra resilience will be a huge bonus.

The hospital advised me to use the Zimmer frame with seat, as it means I moves more rather than my chair or scooter. Its very frustrating, as I used to love walking on our mountain x

46 miles Spec although I've probably coverd about 200 miles of it since I've been here (the route from home to town for shopping / pubsSmile)

So if you are doing it in instalments I take it there are a number of....refreshment stops along thee waySmile

I think you are right Bren, I go out for a walk everyday and there is a steep hill as you leave the park I am convinced that someone is lifting the road and brushing all the dirt underneath it as it feels as if its getting steeper every day Rolleyes Big Grin

Maybe an e-bike is the answer? Huh I have been looking at these but they are sooooooo expensive. Angry
Vinny is giving a good suggestion there Bren, you can still get out cycling and it makes it easier on the hills, ideal for the el....... more mature cyclestRolleyes Smile

I've been looking into e-bikes they do seem to be getting popular and like Vinny says they are expensive but its something to think about.

I have a FB friend who ordered his E-bike from Wish for a much cheaper price. Has been all good for the last of months for him x

Like farendwoman I too have some preserved fruit to get rid of - thankfully mine isn't in the freezer! Blackberry vodka is pretty delicious!

Resolution complete - but twofold!
New kitties have given us a new lease of life and are making lockdown so much more bearable!
Note that Fitzroy has already found the warmest spot in the kitchen
