Slowlycatchymonkey Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 If you got off your bike and walked somewhere then post the pic here. I went on my first deliberate walk today. The planned route according to Google maps was “mostly flat” LIES!! But it was pretty, I did like it and will do it again soon. Thought of @yen_powell with his appreciation of steps and old architecture. Mostly flat.. what bollo! Doesn’t look that steep till you notice how far into the incline Mr Slowly is lent Yep definitely flat 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slowlycatchymonkey Posted October 25, 2022 Author Share Posted October 25, 2022 Yep more steps. and more to the Castle and this lovely bit of building. Beautiful ‘window’ over the ocean. All around 1700 I believe but some reading up needs to be done. Some sort of explanation here, dunno what it says. When I see “Inglesia” I generally don’t want to know what the sociopathic ruling elite have done elsewhere Yep still “mostly flat” On the way down my knee let me know it was no longer in its twenties which was annoying but it’s lovely and worth the walk. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slowlycatchymonkey Posted October 25, 2022 Author Share Posted October 25, 2022 Picked up some parcels and went to the supermarket on the way back, there was this cutie. He was so well behaved but also very keen to be reunited with his human. Started off on the acceptable side of the tills and then found a closed one for a closer look 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boboneleg Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 To be honest walking is quite literally a pain for me but I love it as it's the best time I spend with my son.

We even employed a cyclist who specialises in kids with special needs but he just couldn't get it right. I even bought a tricycle to help with the balance but he just can't get the motion of keeping the pedals going over . It's no sweat though as he loves walking, I will keep going as long as I can with him 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
