Unlike the previous few days, today's #ActiveEveryDay & #OutsideEveryDay were different activities as I couldn't raise the enthusiasm to go for my planned walk.
Instead, I did a 20min yoga session, concentrating on my hamstrings/legs, then walked over the field to our neighbour's house to put her chickens & ducks away for the night.
Hickory decided to join me - he led the way at first, then kept flopping over, demanding play on the return 🤣
Friday's #ActiveEveryDay / #OutsideEveryDay was pushing it the definitions of both Active and Outside: I went into town for a spot of shopping and lunch.
Yesterday though, we went down to see our favourite Sheffield people and walked 7km around the Loxley valley on the edge of the Peaks (pic), then today, we spent the whole afternoon gardening, hefting around bags of compost and the like. So... I guess I could and should have been more Active but at least we were outside.
Walked up a local hill today. It was a little hazy across the valley as I set off but I thought I was "making the most of the nice weather" by going up the hill. It was only when I came back down and turned around that I realised I'd been walking in the clouds 🤣
(In hindsight, it had smelled freshly wet up there, even if it hadn't felt/looked like it.)
Today's walk took me over towards Scammonden Reservoir - a 7km loop via my favourite farm which usually has barn cats sunbathing outside of it. Today, there weren't any cats but there was a napping pink pig.
On the way, I had to re-route away from my preferred path as the local dairy farmers were collecting grass. I love the ballet: two massive tractors moving around in unison. They had three trailers they were swapping out too.
Between a sinus headache and rain, I skipped an #ActiveEveryDay day yesterday but made up for it today, with 20mins of yoga this morning, walking the 2.5km into the village (yay) for a haircut (ugh) at lunchtime and a 6km sunset loop to some scrubland @johnl was interested in visiting this evening.
Bit of a mixed bag at the weekend for my #ActiveEveryday / #OutsideEveryDay efforts.
Random rainstorms stopped play on Saturday but yesterday was brighter: I did 7km across inner city #Leeds then @johnl and I walked a 10km loop around Temple Newsam & down to Skelton Lake.
Today was lovely again: I went for an 8km walk with our neighbour, around some country lanes and one very flooded footpath.
It's cool but bright at the moment - perfect walking weather imho.
