    'The Wasdale Mountain Rescue Team received over £38,000 in donations after settling a £130 unpaid hotel bill left by two walkers they rescued from Scafell Pike. The generous contributions, which came from around the world, were a surprise to the team and hotel staff, who expressed gratitude for the public's support.

  8. Another uphill section and so it’s a good idea not only to separate the motor traffic from #cyclists but also #pedestrians. Cycles often bomb down here at high speeds and so that’s another good reason to have separate zones for #walkers.

  9. #Pedestrian fatalities have risen 83% from a low in 2009. Bigger, heavier #SUV s & distraction play a part.

    The largest factor is night-time speed on urban arterial routes, common in older, socially #deprived, multifamily housing & "arts/entertainment/food/accommodations" #neighborhoods, disproportionately affecting less #affluent people.

    #Cars are prioritized over #walkers & #cyclists, with a lack of sidewalks & crossings on wide roads with retail locations.

  10. Apologies in advance to any vegan or those on a plant based or dairy free diet, who were hoping to cut out junk in the new year, but I've just found out that Walkers Max Sizzling Flame Grilled Steak crisps do not contain milk!! When did this happen? Im' pretty sure they always had milk in but in their wisdom, Walkers have now removed it 😱 Bravo!! 👏 Whether I've just smashed in two bags or not is no ones business but mine & my waist line! 😜 You're welcome!

    What would you wear in 10-11 degree weather?

    I've been wearing shorts but I now read that being cold causes extra muscle fatigue.

    Your thoughts, please?

    Why was my walk harder than normal today?
    I was grumpy, I was very cranky indeed. I walked 10 mile and by the end of it I was ready to fight someone.

    I had two days off. I've been using A.I. to refine my progress. It suggested a rest day as I'm still not in great shape and I'd had 7 days of long walks. Could that have something to do with it?

    Opinions?

    Rule of thumb in the #US... Look at #auto / #pedestrian injury stats in your area. Many of the same factors that make things dangerous for #cyclists 🚲 are also dangerous for #walkers. 🚶

    Don't know the recent stats, but a few years ago #Florida was the worst in the US, and had two of the top three worst cities #Jacksonville and #Orlando . We generally don't even have sidewalks in many cities.

    Several deaths and bad injuries in my area over the years. We have a #GhostBike hanging in a tree about a mile from my house. ghostbikes.org/ I avoid riding my bike on the highways in Fla. 🙁

    In my experience, car drivers are rarely held responsible when they hit a bike.

  14. Onto Walker’s shortbread fingers, and both not enamoured, finding a rather overwhelmingly buttery after taste. Both on grapes to refresh! I will score this finally on the second go - not tomorrow, when a giant fudge doughnut cake steps in for a few days - but think it will be low. #shortbread #ScottishShortbread #Scotland #ScottishFood #ScottishCuisine #Food #Foodstodon #SweetTreats #Walkers #TasteTest #FudgeDoughnut #FisherAndDonaldson

  16. It's 01 December, so that means it's time to break out the #AdventCalendars!

    Obviously, this is just for me and my roommate.

  17. 'More than 1,000 miles of footpath lost in Hampshire over past century'

    liphookherald.com/news/more-th

    The Ramblers: 'has estimated 1,115 miles of protected footpath has been lost in the former #Hampshire area since the turn of the 20th century.'

    'Public #RightsOfWay are paths that anyone has a legal right to use. While these are predominantly used by #walkers, they can include bridleways also used by #cyclists and horse riders.'

  18. Here's my completed Pokémon Tazo collection, released in the year 2000, in packets of Walker's Crisps. Tazos were likely a response to the Pogs craze, and were available in many countries around the world. During the Covid-19 lockdowns I purchased the final Tazo I needed (Dratini)

    In 2001 a set of 25 featuring 2nd gen Pokémon were released, with a further 10 added later. These sets were smaller than what other countries got, and while I wish we got some of the larger sets here in the UK, I'm thankful to finally have these two complete sets!

  25. You probably don’t associate me with the “abstract/modernist” movt. & you’d be right!In reality, this #sculpture celebrates the industrial heritage & local people of Staveley & Hollingwood in NE #Derbyshire, as well as the fact that the #TransPeninneTrail runs right down the side of the #Chesterfield Canal, and is a real thoroughfare for #walkers & #cyclists The support posts still need painting & I will post some pics of the completed work when the sun comes out!

  28. Today’s #cycle ride was a 12 km trip to the #river and back, near the place it opens out into an #estuary. There are some nice gradients as one approaches the river which provide a bit of an extra challenge on the way up. It’s almost entirely #off-road but there is very little #traffic. The #weather couldn’t better with still air and bright sunshine, though not hot. There were a few #walkers, #joggers and fellow #cyclists about.
