Technically the 14th anniversary of me working at my present job. Tuesday after the May Day bank holiday is when I started .. last Saturday was the actual anniversary.

9 trips in 9 days done 70 miles walked and over 23-00 photos taken with a large number taken at 20mph or above. Heavy rain on 1 day only

5 trips done and 45 miles walked,. Also the RAF has had 4 F35B Lightning follow me yesterday and today....

My plans got altered slightly as one of the minibus companies had to cancel 3 trips and refunded me but will be getting nice discount when I rebook them.

wondering why on my "holidays" I choose to get up 2 hours earlier than when going to work. 6 trips in 6 days soon coming up with 3 more days to sort out

1st time out and about with my camera for 4 months. 15km walked. Right ankle/foot is mot appreciative of what I did

so totted up the miles walked last year. Only 2083 done. Took over 8500 photos as well.

Today I have gone past 4.5 million steps walked this year. North of 2000 miles is the distance

sorting out the photos I've taken this year. The only problem is that there's too many. Again. It was the year of minibus daytrips with 6 taken (2 from Liverpool, 2 from Manchester and 2 from Windermere)

Back online again. Took time out from most forums as work has gone bananas in that we are handing double the number of clients than 6 months ago

Nice week off work and with the weekends thrown in, it was 8 daytrips in 9 days. Averaged 18000 steps a days some 2 months after, I am 99% sure of, dislocating an ankle.

not quite matching last year's walking exploits. About 10,000 to 20.000 steps down on this time last year. Still done nearly a million.

didn't do any exercise today. Just walked 13 miles.

today's the day I went past 2000 miles walked this year, a little bit ahead of schedule, Not worked out what kind of challenge to do next year

Travelling from Manchester to Liverpool to pick up a Lake District minibus tour on Thursday as all the trips from Manchester to the Lakes were fully booked this week.

took advantage of a week off work to take over 1700 photos interspersed with around 148,000 steps walked in the last 9 days.

Family has gone another year closer to achieving the diamond anniversary of the family picnic... 58 now done; I do wonder if we will contact the press when number 60 comes around

4 more daytrips done Saturday to Tuesday. Over 40 miles walked (quite why in this heat, though!) with just on 1000 more photos. More pleasing is 3 were "new" places for me. Only issue yesterday was not one but 2 trains breaking down from Windermere (and to think the train fare cost more than all the buses I used)

Just realised I didn't give an update to the "post daytrip restriction lifted" scenario. 5 or 6 places visited so far and well over 2000 photos taken with today Tatton Park saying they'd like to feature a couple of shots on their social media. The good ol' days have returned.

With the restrictions being lifted, I am now looking to a coffee filled fest on a park bench on my birthday.
