March the Month 19,180 steps - Day 30

The last day of March the Month, giving me a grand total of 550,725 steps taken this month. Will I carry on walking? well I need to replace the exercise that was in my pre lock down routine, which won't be returning in that form anyway, so yes, I will be doing some form of walking as well as other exercise.

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.

Today's walk was 12,635 steps, 6.5 m with a climb of 2,554ft, and a total so far of 19,180 steps.

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.
