Car parks are fairly flat though.
Just start at the bottom and go to the top* of each. Retracing your steps back down.

*You can't go above the the highest point.

Only one I’ve done is Ben Nevis when I was only about 7 with dad.

Morning. A bit overcast but pleasant enough here. I walked a couple of miles to get the body warmed up then jogged four miles home along a lovely little back road that I always enjoy. Off for a nice steep in the bath now before my breakfast.

I suspect there will be a fair bit of Commonwealth Games watching again today.

Good morning folks,
Grey and overcast here in Dorset, we have a Teazel which has stopped flowering so we’re moving it a bit further away from the house so the birds find it more appealing. Had a message from our friends in Spain, he’s not been out jogging for a while due to the heat, and he tells me the water in the swimming pool is now too hot 😮
I don’t think I could live anywhere without seasons, I know we’re often moaning about the weather but I enjoy them all once my expectations are recalibrated.
Have a peaceful day folks ☕️☀️👍

Good day. It has rained all night and is now damp and humid. Woke at 2.00am, drank tea till 4.30 and thankfully slept again till 7.40. There is stuff to do so I'll do it. Of interest? Nah. We have new bathroom flooring coming on Thursday so I need to gloss the woodwork today. WOW! I might clean out my sheds, it will soon be wood logging time and there's a lot of crap been dumped in the woodshed this year. I need to find a tree, I have logs for the coming winter but not enough for 2023/24 which is not far off in log years! :laugh:

Speaking of logs, I'm trying to think of ways to reduce gas consumption this winter. Other than turn the thermostat down and reduce the hours the CH is on have we got any tricks? Mrs P likes to live at 21⁰ :eek: and it's a very expensive preference, I find it uncomfortable but hey ho.

I've pondered this, I think it's not so much the temperature as the humidity. In the summer it can be quite a few degrees lower and I feel comfortable, in autumn / winter I feel chilled. We turn of the thermostatic rad valves in rooms we aren't using, the lady who services our boiler has set the boiler temperature just above minimum. I did wonder about getting a dehumidifier, they pull the moisture out of the air and the heat exchanger vents into the room. My daughter has one and uses it to dry clothes indoors, it's remarkably effective. I did consider getting one of these for when it gets really chilly:
