Fragile Do Not Bend Apr 2020 4:55pm, 10 Apr 2020 5,705 posts	0 Fragile Do Not Bend Walk done, surprisingly few people out and about compared to our walk on Saturday afternoon last weekend. Bloody quad bikes on the North Downs Way, I’m sure that’s not in the list of valid reasons to be out. The NDW without quad bikes I’ve not been doing the treasure hunt, but if there’s ever an Aladdin’s Lamp category, I’m sorted.

alpenrose Apr 2020 5:07pm, 10 Apr 2020 43,588 posts	0 alpenrose Happy anniversary TeeBees. I finally got out to the airport on my bike today to have a look at the plane park. It was a bit difficult to get a full picture but you get the idea. I'm sure I saw a few Qantas planes parked on the other side of the airfield. Coming back over the foot bridge over the river was a bit of a bottleneck, impossible to keep 2m apart and I'm sure I saw our MP come over on a bike with his wife.

um Apr 2020 7:35pm, 10 Apr 2020 2,077 posts	0 um Impressive ar. Shame they couldn't have used a few to collect you earlier? I'd like to see it - but it probably doesn't count as an 'essential' journey, and I'd struggle to cycle there and back! Here's an aerial view, found in the web at random, if of interest. airlive.net There is an odd, old or special livery jumbo in the opening and closing sequence? And other reports (eg Echo) talk of 3 x Virgin A340s - so maybe that's the other ones you saw.
LazyDaisy Apr 2020 7:52pm, 10 Apr 2020 29,833 posts	0 LazyDaisy Good evening everyone! I've had a pleasant day in lockdown. I think when we eventually get out I might stick to me lockdown routine, viz: Get up a bit later than usual (7:30 today) Go for a run or a dog walk Shower Do some minor bits of housework but not too much Read the paper properly instead of just skimming through it Bit of gardening but not too much Sit in the garden doing my knitting. That's really not bad, is it? Tomorrow is a garden parkrun day. With bunny ears
Lip Gloss Apr 2020 7:56pm, 10 Apr 2020 39,349 posts	0 Lip Gloss Sounds a perfect way to enjoy your day LD Went for a walk and at each mile I took a few running steps and it felt okay s I may Doc parkrun tomorrow. Last night I did an upper body workout which I didn't really enjoy but boy I can feel where it's targeted
KimCanRun Apr 2020 8:01pm, 10 Apr 2020 4,475 posts	0 KimCanRun A week of no exercise for me so far. Been a long work week. Run on the plan tomorrow.
alpenrose Apr 2020 10:05pm, 10 Apr 2020 43,595 posts	0 alpenrose I saw that film before um, it must have been taken by a drone and I noticed signs all along the fence saying that it was a no-drone flying area.
LazyDaisy Apr 2020 7:09am, 11 Apr 2020 29,835 posts	0 LazyDaisy Good morning everyone! More sunshine here. Dog walking day today. Need to get going so it's not too hot for the dog and also need to get back in time for core team Zooming at 10. Hope you all have a safe and satisfactory day xx

Welcome to the 700 miles in 2020 thread, everybody welcome. The thread motto is:
'700 miles is neither necessary nor sufficient'

At normal times: All you have to do is run about 1.91 miles per day or 13.46 miles per week or 58.33 miles per month and take a picture when you get to 700 miles. Extra points for bins :-)

And if you go under or over 700 miles nobody will mind.
