🚨First post alert 😀

I haven’t been able to walk this far around Cardiff Bay in 3 years- and it’s only 5 miles!

After MECFS destroyed my nervous system I couldn’t walk down the road.
Now I treasure every single step.

Next week I launch my own thing as a climate leader, author and speaker. Because I have a mission, and finally, now I can 💚

Well done. It's great getting some strength back. Until a couple of years ago I used to walk to a farm shop about a mile from home fill up my back pack with food and walk back. Due to illness I haven't been able to recently but a few days ago my OH dropped me there so I could stock up and walk back while she went somewhere else. I made it. Next time I might try both directions. 😀

@helendraper I'm just getting back into the swing of things after a couple of months out of commission. I started going for walks again, and went down to the lifeboat station for some tractor training tonight. It feels good.
It looks like you had a nice morning for your walk (if a cold one). I love seeing the birds on my walks and there are loads of them this time of year.
