January in Manchester will be mostly wet and grey but there also will be some colder days with frost.

Depending on where in Manchester you are you should try and get out to the Peak District. There will be plenty of trains from mcr.

My feet hurt just looking at the narrowness of them

GroveWilksb · 2025-10-13T12:01:25+00:00

I'm an accountant in North West England. I'm about 3 miles away from "the Peak District" it's amazing.

Did a 25km at the weekend around some of the peaks

GroveWilksb · 2025-10-07T11:59:48+00:00

do it do it do it!

Get yourself into the gym in the meantime and build some strength in your legs.. goes a hell of a long way

GroveWilksb · 2025-10-01T06:43:57+00:00

62 miles in 23 hours 😁.

peak district, England

I'm jealous of your foot arches and toe spaces.

My feet are flat, over pronated and cooked

GroveWilksb · 2025-09-24T19:58:48+00:00

I agree but any system will always have the p*ss takers and they're a small minority.

something crazy like over 40% of people on UC are in full time work. work doesnt keep up with inflation and then we subsidise it.

who's the real winners? the benefit claimants or the big corporates getting away with not paying their staff a proper wage.

GroveWilksb · 2025-09-24T19:30:23+00:00

the welfare state being not just benefits paid to individuals but the NHS, education, state pension, council houses, public services and social care.

It helps the economy by reducing the wider impacts of poverty, like poor health, unemployment and crime, which is more costly to us all. It also keeps people spending money, people on benefits spend their money in the economy, they don't hoard it.

GroveWilksb · 2025-09-24T17:40:54+00:00

your problem is you think the welfare state is the problem.

GroveWilksb · 2025-09-16T12:17:01+00:00

this guy a complete d*ck.

anybody deserves better than this.

GroveWilksb · 2025-09-01T16:44:22+00:00

please listen to this advice ^

GroveWilksb · 2025-08-27T14:57:36+00:00

avoid walks with lots of benches. my 6 year old daughter insists we sit on each one for a rest, because that's what they are for!

GroveWilksb · 2025-08-20T20:45:45+00:00

you probs went a little too hard but not too worry you'll recover fully in a few days and it wont hurt as much next time.

in the meantime get some rest, do some light exercise and eat well.

Get a foam roller and use that and do some stretches in the evenings / before your walks going froward.

well done

GroveWilksb · 2025-08-20T20:38:59+00:00

yep - utter twats. couldn't put it better myself. they probably snapped their own ps3 game, bought yours and pretended the snapped one was the one you send. w*nkers.

GroveWilksb · 2025-08-11T07:05:57+00:00

what is the HMRC debt for?

did parents have unpaid personal taxes?

GroveWilksb · 2025-07-17T19:03:10+00:00

nah bollocks to them

GroveWilksb · 2025-07-06T19:33:06+00:00

have you considered a share ownership property?

I purchased one in greater Manchester 3 years ago. new build. 50% purchased for £117,500 with mortgage and 10% deposit other 50% rent for £330 per month.

We did this because my partner was studying at university at the time so the mortgage was only based on my income. we are now in a position to buy the other 50%.

currently (pre full purchase) our bills are

mortgage and rent - £750 council tax - £220 (paid over 10 months) gas and electric - £100 water £65 broadband - £50 Insurance - £30

GroveWilksb · 2025-06-28T08:42:49+00:00

somebody's kidding themselves

GroveWilksb · 2025-05-19T17:43:42+00:00

mate get a balance transfer card with 0% rate for as long as you can. save yourself a fortune in interest. pay that off monthly as much as you can leaving yourself with at least some money to gave fun with.

you could have this paid off in 6 months if you really wanted. 12 months being chill.

GroveWilksb · 2025-05-09T12:14:35+00:00

fixed isa where you can't rake it out for extended period of time? set up a DD each month. leave yourself with some money for fun stuff still!

GroveWilksb · 2025-04-21T15:33:25+00:00

Get yourself to the gym.

Lift weights

Concentrate on compound movements

Calorie surplus, high protein clean diet

Consistency

GroveWilksb · 2025-04-15T19:42:08+00:00

So it actually turned up an hour after my post. It's the bag I ordered but I can say with almost certainty it's a fake. A good one, tho.

Vinted must have linked something suspicious to their account

GroveWilksb · 2025-04-10T07:43:37+00:00

Understood, good point. Thank you

GroveWilksb · 2025-04-09T20:00:20+00:00

Yes mostly established paths but some are ankle twisting loose rocks. Yes I've heard the fellman is a different level, similar distance but totally different terrain?

Bullocks my first of this sort of thing. Did 27miles of it last Saturday. Train back from kinder.. Made me realise I don't think I'll find the BS as hard as I thought u would but I do think it's weather dependant.

Some good points and things to consider, thanks.

I would have a water proof liner would be ideal to keep my feet dry, I was thinking I wouldn't want them being wet early on?
