March the Month 16,991 steps - Day 8

A lovely sunny afternoon (so sunny that I should have put a hat on or worn sun screen), autumn is definitely on the way, leaves are turning, more and more berries are ready to be plucked, and fungi appearing in lots of places.

Stats for today's walk were 8.5 miles with a total climb of 1845 feet, with a total of 12,483 steps on the walk and the remainder of the 16,991 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.
