#Walking in the special upland environment of the #Cabrach - assisted by useful information boards along the way - the #CabrachDiscoveryTrail is an easy and accessible way to experience this unique landscape … 😀

There are countless studies on how many steps we should take each day to improve health and live longer, so I'll get right to it:

Walking at least 3,967 steps per day is a minimum threshold to reduce the risk of death from any cause, according to a large review of research.

That's not the final word—um, number—on the subject, but it's a good starting point for an article on how just a little ambling around can really boost mood and #health.

Views from my journey to work today. I say "work" rather loosely, as I'm retired but how can a day containing such views be really considered labour? In reality, I would work for free as walking in such scenery and showing people the beauty of the Alpujarra and the mountains is enough for me. Today with a group of Scots, Irish, English and Norwegians all enjoying the day. For me, it's truly a labour of love.

Cherry Run
- a tributary of West Branch Brandywine Creek, PA

This tributary was my 2nd target on Saturday 😊
Unlike Birch Run, which also converges into WB Brandywine half a mile upstream, this tributary’s water is only 1˚ C/2˚ F colder (Birch Run was 5˚ C/9˚ F colder) than the mainstream 🤔

A bit disappointed, but I checked this tributary a little bit, and decided to walk along the WB Brandywine 😊

Chambers Lake, PA

After some bushwhacking along the cool water Birch Run, I saw a open space and Chambers Lake. There were people boating, fishing, and picnicking – very relaxing Saturday😊

Cold water is released from the bottom of this lake into Birch Run which is cold and refreshing, but not this lake at least its surface - I cast my fly line several times but decided to check another tributary of West Branch Brandywine Creek😉

Pull day at the gym!

Good workout. I'm doing really well with my resistance training at the moment.

Followed up with a 4.8km walk at home on the farm. I've been listening to Iggy Pop all afternoon, and I'm in a good mood.

What weight should one start #rucking?

Depending on one’s weight and body shape, most can handle 10-20 lbs dry weight which is approximately 5-9 kg in the beginning. It is better to start lighter and increase as needed.

Ruck weight is typically measured in pounds and notated with the # symbol.

In general it is recommended to stay below 33% of one’s bodyweight, since that is the threshold where health damage exponentially increases.

So Italians out clubbing get free taxi rides home to prevent deaths in traffic (because some decide to drive drunk). How backward is this? The original problem is that they need to drive to begin with! This solution can't possibly solve that they even need to _drive_ there to begin with.

Basically, this list of seven secrets to longevity is more like three things:

1. Lots of low-key moving around during the day (like #walking and #gardening)

2. Eating legumes and whole grains—and not much #meat

3. Having #friends (not frenemies) and social security (in every sense of that term) #health #wellness #cooking https://www.tpr.org/2023-09-09/7-habits-to-live-a-healthier-life-inspired-by-the-worlds-longest-lived-communities

Sunday in Sturt Gorge. Cuts from the Adelaide Hills down to the sea
Wild walk with suburbs on both sides.
Not so silent today, but babbling creeks have the sound of escape.

"Walking at our own pace creates an unadulterated feedback loop between the rhythm of our bodies and our mental state ... When we stroll, the pace of our feet naturally vacillates with our moods and the cadence of our inner speech; at the same time, we can actively change the pace of our thoughts by deliberately walking more briskly or by slowing down."

Birch Run
-Tributary of West Branch Brandywine Creek, PA

This stream was my target today, cool water: 17C/63F, noon, while WB Brandywine at its mouth is much warmer (~22C/72F)😉

The water is coming from the bottom of Chamber Lake. Many small fish were rising, jumping on my flies - I could not get any of them, I should’ve used smaller flies - I didn't bother changing☺️

My feet got cold as I wade with sandals. Refreshing on a hot summer day😊

West Branch Brandywine Creek, PA

This is a kind of creek that I love, at least this section with many boulders and fast currents. I felt my childhood creeks in Japan (a bit)😊

Water: 21.5C/71F, 10:30am
I should come back later this month when the water is cooler😉

I saw several big brown trout that are probably survivors from spring stocking🤔

There are nice walking trails along the creek within the Hibernia County Park, Chester County😊

Weight is categorized into two: “wet weight” and “dry weight”.

Dry weight is defined as the actual weight of the object(s) that have no other purpose than being heavy.

Wet weight is defined as the complete backpack weight.

In regards to #rucking the backpack is called a “rucksack” or short “ruck”.

Me: let's go outside today! I'm gonna wear my comfiest shoes.
Feet: Ok.
Me: gonna walk 20 mins to this cafe
Feet: How about blisters. Let's have three.
Me: Oh ok! I have these special plasters and this special cream I'll sort you out.
Feet: Ok.

(later)
Me: Ok, we're home, time to relax. Taking off the shoes now.
Feet: THIS MEANS WAR

(two more blisters appear, laminate floor is lava, in the distance: sirens)
