GM Ringway Stage 2 - Go Jauntly Stage 2 links Sale Water Park and Didsbury Village tram stations via the verdant Mersey Valley.

GM Ringway Stage 2 @ Sale Water Park - Didsbury on @gojauntly.bsky.social

I will give it a 3/5. I suspect a nicer spring/summer walk. Today was very muddy but still pleasant.

I found the middle section along the canal quite dull (around Trafford). I didn’t find that part particularly tranquil or scenic this time of year. The beginning and end brought the score up for me personally. I did find the Go Jauntly directions extremely helpful which was a bonus.

Thank you for highlighting this response to me. I hadn’t seen it. Hope you are well Patricia and enjoying your well earned retirement. As you can see, I moved up north following my registrar years in London.

Well said: “the majority of the investment announced today does not cover day-to-day running costs, such as staffing and other essential outgoings needed to give round the clock care” &”End-of-life care involves numerous parts of the health and care sectors in all four UK nations working together”

Is capital spending really what the hospice sector needs? Or is it fairer, equitable, transparent and recurrent funding from NHS Integrated Care Boards? Hospice expenditure is mostly people, not things.

GM Ringway Stage 1 - Go Jauntly Stage 1 is a tranquil, largely traffic-free route from the city centre to Sale Water Park tram stop.

Just finished GM Ringway Stage 1 - Central Manchester to Sale Water Park on @gojauntly.bsky.social

I’ll give it a 3/5 but many more stages to come.

I can’t rejoice at this assisted dying bill. Where is the humanity? After sitting as a justice of the Supreme Court, and having seen friends struggle with end-of-life choices, Jonathan Sumption believed the law should change. But he feels the new bill is over-engineer...

Well worth a read… #AssistedDying

Thanks @lbc.co.uk for having me on to discuss AD.

Both Keir Starmer & Wes Streeting know full well how grossly underfunded UK palliative care is - & they have the power to change that.

But will they?

Or will they turn their backs on dying people?

Just watched another news report on #AssistedDying. But it was this comment that I’d like to explore: “Palliative Care needs to be improved”. Does palliative care need improvement? Or is it about equitable access to well funded and well resourced palliative care services? #PalliativeCare #HPM #HAPC

Ah, I see! I forget sometimes that BM is unusual.
