Paid Members ReturnOfTheMack Posted June 12, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted June 12, 2022 (edited) So on Saturday June 25th I'm doing the Lyke Wake Walk. https://lykewake.org/history.php Basically a 40 mile walk across the North York moors. Big old beast of a walk, especially for a fat man with long covid! I'll be taking photos along the way, if anyone's interested. Im also using it as a chance to raise money for Firefly, a local charity that takes cancer patients to their hospital appointments. So feel free to throw 50p or whatever you can.

Paid Members ReturnOfTheMack Posted June 12, 2022 Author Paid Members Share Posted June 12, 2022 Cheers man. I'm bad at walking, and bad at technology. But my God, I can make love like an animal. Admittedly that animal is a panda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members ReturnOfTheMack Posted June 18, 2022 Author Paid Members Share Posted June 18, 2022 This is a week away, and the weather report suggests it will be the only day of the week the area gets rain. And it's pretty much all day.  My luck.  On the plus side there's over a hundred quid raised up to now, so I'm happy about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members ReturnOfTheMack Posted June 25, 2022 Author Paid Members Share Posted June 25, 2022 Well. This walk hasn't gone how I expected. On the way down a very steep hill SURPRISE RABBIT TO THE HIP! Sodding thing just jumped from nowhere as I was mid step. I slid about 20 or 30 meters down the hill, and when I got up again my knee was agony. I continued the walk for another couple of hours, at a very slow pace, until coming up to a stoned path that was crazy steep. I physically couldn't do it with my knee. I manged about 6km, 4 of which I hobbled. So, failed. I'm genuinely hugely disappointed. I was really looking forward to it, and I loved what I did there. But I can at least say I wasn't let down by myself, it was a freak accident that led to a (mild) injury. 😞   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperBacon Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Rabbits jumping at you are the new cows charging at you. Sorry to hear that @ReturnOfTheMack, hopefully you can try again when your knee heals up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
