March the Month 14,086 steps - Day 4

An overcast day today with very flat light, my main walk being in the afternoon. I've been following a broadly similar pattern for the walks, but going through a lot of wooded areas with plenty of choice of routes through the woods. All while staying within the town boundaries, although today I did go close to the edge of the town.

This borage was in the same field as the corn from earlier in the week.

Stats for today's walk were 6.4 miles with a total climb of 1520 feet, with a total of 12,660 steps on the walk and the remainder of the 14,086 steps at home.

Not bad for someone with a dicky ticker, dodgy knees and dodgier prostate. The aim is to clock up in excess of 11,000 steps, 1 for every man who dies every year from Prostate Cancer in the UK. I was diagnosed with this cancer early in the lock down.

Prostate cancer is now the most commonly diagnosed cancer in the UK and each year more than 11,000 men die from the disease. The impact of the coronavirus crisis means that life-saving research is at risk. Men have never needed your support more to protect research into better tests and treatments to stop prostate cancer being a killer.

I know that due to Covid things are tough for many people out there (my own income is down by 50%), but if you can spare something please do support me.
