Re Molly thanks for the info, typical we are busy the weekend of the Aviemore event will book mark it for next year though. I will let you know if I am a mushing enthusiast after the experience wink

Re Lon, good idea with the kerbs. You reminded me that when I was a student the University Hiking club of which I was a member ran a sponsored walk annualy of 55 miles from the city centre out to the suburbs and back through the night. I did it twice (stopped 9miles short the first time but thats another story). Boy did you know those kerbs by the end of it something you didn't even notice became a monumental effort to step up or down.

Struggling to motivate myself flaring from weekend food but feeling better today.
Yesterday walkd 2 miles (school run)
Today 1 1/2 hour ride
Lugged 50m chicken fence up garden and set it up as we lost a hen to a fox last week sad

NSD almost all the way
No dairy hard cheeses occasionally and homemade ghee
Still trying to work out what makes me tick and what makes me drop
