March the Month 16,469 steps - Day 10

A lovely afternoon when the sun was out, though there was a chill in the air when it wasn't. I diverted to avoid a primary school kicking out time and ran in to the 6th form college kicking out time instead. I found a few new footpaths on my walk, but had to give up on some as a 5 year old would have had to duck to get through, so my 6ft plus wasn't going to fit.

All pictures this month are being taken within the borough boundaries of Luton, I am aiming to not include anything man-made in the images (my definition being something that has been through a manufacturing process) to give a different view of the town. Although distant hills not in the borough may appear, the main subject will always be within the borough.

Stats for today's walk were 7.1 miles with a total climb of 2705 feet, with a total of 14,875 steps on the walk and the remainder of the 16,469 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.
