This week I passed the 560miles since signing up for the London Marathon last October.
I have got one more day of my 12 week intense running training which was designed to not only reduce my weight but also ensure my base fitness is strong enough to carry me around the 26 mile course.
Fund raising is continuing go well, with generous donation after generous donation, I am wanting to push on to the next target of £2500 and beyond and raise as much money as I can for this truly incredible charity, they do so much for end of life cancer sufferers and their families.
Any donation no matter how small will help me get round the course.❤️
Thank you all so much❤️ just over 4 weeks till lift off 🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

One of the loveliest signs of spring is when the curlews, lapwings and skylarks return to the moors. These are all endangered species on the Red List for birds (also known as Birds of Conservation Concern). The curlew in particular is in danger of becoming extinct.
Please keep your dog on a lead between 1 March and 31 July when walking on the moors. Even if you have a well-behaved dog that doesn't stray from the path, please use a lead and set an example to others.
If you want your dog to be able to run freely, Penistone Hill is a great place to go and has no restrictions.
Thank you!
Does anyone know a Kath Hodgson who lives in Upper town? My neighbour has received a letter for her. We tried to deliver it tonight but couldn't find the house. 😊
There are a couple of houses next to the old school at the back of the houses on the road and I think she lives in one of them. You would probably need to go onto the drive for the old school to get to them. Hope you understand this explanation.
I think its one of the houses behind the Bay Horse xx
Janet Anderson the one where Sarah packham use to live
Discover paths and routes you didn't know existed in and around Oxenhope at my Monday night running group and take in the views. A very relaxed group for all levels of runners.
At Tuesdays Bootcamp you will gain new information and knowledge regarding your diet, that helps to make sense of it all. Set your own personal targets and I will help you to achieve your goal.
Wednesdays aerobics class is lots of fun. Dance around to great music, improve your cardio whilst working different muscle groups, whatever your age or ability.
Friday Bootcamp is an extremely friendly group. Fantastic way to finish the week off by enjoying a workout in the great outdoors.
Or personal training might be the option for you.
If you would like anymore info please feel free to send me a message.

Very loud house alarm in the Square, Lowertown going off for hours, has anyone reported?
Just a reminder after an attempted break-in on West Shaw Lane yesterday to stay vigilant and follow good home security.
Here are some tips to improve your home security:
Lock your doors and windows and double check them when you go to bed.
Install a home alarm system and set it at night.
Install motion detector lighting.
Add a deadbolt protector to external doors.
Reinforce sliding doors.
Buy a home security camera.
Keep spare keys in a lock box and don’t leave your car keys on show.
Don't overshare your routine on social media.
Stay safe everyone.
All good advice, and some more detail of times etc would help even more. Wherever we live we have to accept from time to time criminal elements will see us as a lucrative touch so not sure why anyone would think it’s NOT a good idea to warn folk. Ignore them, and keep the info coming. 👍
Lots of residents in Haworth Village have suffered these past two years. Sadly we have very few police these days. Very well done Oxenhope Online for sharing this important information 👍
Who on earth thought it was a good idea to post this, this is Oxenhope not some downtown suburb of a big city where people genuinely don't feel safe. If you are paranoid then keep it to yourself, Misery needs company
Worst thing you can do is hide your car keys leave them in plain sight if they want it let them take it….
The Last few tickets available for the next big thing that includes one of its members from Oxenhope.
If you want to be part of their biggest headline gig to date, get your tickets for tomorrow night and be one of the 250 who will be able to say, I WAS THERE
It will be an incredible evening’s entertainment

The London Marathon looms large on the 23rd of April 2023.
It will be a really tough event, however, it will be a lot easier knowing I have so many incredible sponsors supporting me.
I am absolutely blown away by you incredibly generous and decent people.
This will make such a difference to Sue Ryder and Manorlands, all the money will go to ensuring the can continue to give such wonderful support, not only to end of life cancer sufferers, but also their families.
I am close to my minimum sponsor target, but want to raise as much money as I can, any support you can give no matter how small will make every step and mile go a little easier.
Thank you all so much ❤️

🐸 info…It's that time of the year again!! The toads have started their annual migration to their ancestoral breeding grounds.
Oxenhope Toad patrol now rescues toads from the roads on 3 formally registered seperate sites. 1. Denholme road in Leeming including Back Leeming, Jew Lane and Bull Hill, 2. Blackmoor Road, the stretch of road near the quarry ponds, 3.Browtop Road.
Last year 88 volunteers from Oxenhope, Haworth, Cullingworth, Denholme, Crossroads and beyond rescued 2834 toads and 75 frogs. Without our volunteers many of these toads would have been squashed by vehicles. All amphibians were put into buckets and then taken to safety or deep water where they were able to spawn.
We are an organised group of people, we are insured, risk assessed and have been trained. From now on you may see us patrolling during warmer March and April evening from dusk onwards. Please slow down if you see a toad or a patroller in the road!
Toads are on the decline and need our help. All rescues are counted and form part of the national data which we send to the organisation 'Froglife' at the end of each season. If you are interested in joining a UK toad patrol go onto the Froglife website to find out more.
Thanks - Jane Topham (Site manager).
There were 2 toads in this position outside our house in west Drive yesterday. I’d have moved them if I’d known where to move them to.

This one outside our house tonight. No idea where to take it
Did anyone just witness the thundersnow?
Thundersnow is a dramatic weather phenomenon which, as its name implies, is simply snow accompanied by thunder and lightning.
I thought I'd dreamt it.x
Yeah we did just a bit further away @ far side of Oakworth.
Over the snowy hills and far away, looking over Leeming into the distance during the recent wintery spell.

Poor owner! It must’ve been scary
Only taken 4 days.
