    Steve, totally different. Yoga is based on the breath. Whilst we do breathe with Pilates it is about core muscle strengthening

    lots of guys do it, especially if they have to stand for long periods. My OH does it!

    Joe Pilates Dove, he was a New Yorker

    nowadays there are several variations but I think the original best. Shouldn't be more than 6/7 in a class so positions can be correctedimage

    I cycled round Millport with friends about forty years ago. Never been on a bike since! Could do with one tomorrow - it would cut several hours off the walk.

    Right, 

    Our cleaner is due at 10, so I'd better start tidying up. 

    Enjoy Wednesday

    Morning all. Sunny but cold here, a definite autumnal feel in the air.

    Topbird I feel exactly the same about Scotland. Despite having travelled a lot, my favourite place on earth, is the area between Torridon, Loch Maree, Gairloch and Dundonnel.

    Fairy I think my 100th. was Slioch.

    Have a great day everyone.

    Hosta Scunnered is a good one but the one that i use that mystifies the most people is glaure. Steve you an me both mate re flexible as a house brick.

    Morning doc. Slioch would have been lovely. Difficulty for me is distance because it involves staying overnight. I'm taking the girls up there when we're on holiday next month - Ullapool's where we holidayed when I was a child. I got very emotional going back there to scatter ashes a few years ago. My dad loved the highlands. I harboured ideas of going to Mull and doing Ben More but that's an overnighter. Beinn Dearg will be the target though - 50th was Stob Dearg on the Bookil so another 'Dearg' is a tenuous link! 

    Autumn's definitely here- rowans have been laden with berries for weeks. They look beautiful.

    Fairy, Pdoc for me its Glen Coe standing at Kingshouse early in the morning watching the sun break on Buachaille Etive Mor is the most magical thing on gods green.
