Nope..do at least 4 miles with the dog after tea every night and did Otley and back via the Chevin trail on Sunday morning (8 miles).

The rest of em on here seem incapable of walking and use those bike thingymyjigs to get about! :lol:

Did this on my birthday last year:

Now I realise that's hardly even constitutes a leg stretch for some on here but I thought it would help to make my walk to sitting in the pub balance clear. :-) My birthday's comming up again rapidly and I'm looking for suggestions for a similar walk, preferably one where I could get everyone to start from Leeds station and head out from there rather than driving (See earlier comment about pub!) Cheers in advance!

So combining this with a 5:2 and no bread etc... trying to do it daily with me and the dog

Start from down here

and end up there at the Shrine of the shoemaker up there

so far done 4 out of six days and feeling good about stuff until I couldn't catch up with the cleaners who were in there 60s and wander up to clean the place every day, then I got passed by this lad on the way up this morning...

He tried to not laugh too much as he was heading down as I just got there...

Seems that fitness nivana has a way to go...

At least it should keep the locals off the tops which has to be a good thing.

Looks beauty. Take pics..

Just to confirm I got absolutely soaked...

As an aside did you know that their are no taxi firms or even individual taxi operators in Marsden?

As a second aside the landlord of the "Top Brink" in Lumbutts has a certain way with words for any hikers entering his pub... "I'm closing, I have things to do in Tod"...(although to be fair he did allow us to change out of our soaking gear in the gents and call us a taxi to go to Hebden Bridge).

Not quite the full trail, started at the Carriage House, took in the White House pub and went downwards towards Lumbutts rather than up to the Pike but a good 15 miles nevertheless. The rain meant I only got a few pics, my favourate of which already is the "Welcome to Saddleworth signs you see on the roads you cross with the "in the historic county of York" in one corner and the sign for Oldham Borough in the other :-)
