ArabianNights said:

Yeah love walking, the peaks in Derby, the Cotswolds, and love coastal walking in Cornwall. Especially near Lands End. Amazing in the winter.

How about you??

Veronica100 said:

i love the peaks...one of my favourite places is dovedale

love the cotswolds too...and they are so close which is great for a day out.

haven't done too much walking in recent months, but probably will do more when the days get longer and the rains let up...

*veronica stops mid sentence for a quick prayer* dear weather gods, please let us have a proper summer this year!

i don't like getting too muddy....i always worry i'll get stuck and lose my boots!

that said, walking was much funner when i had my dog as she just loved going on adventures......and also i had a partner way back then, so it was nice to share the experience with a loved one.

how often do you go walking?

Coffee faxing, I think.

ArabianNights said:

As much as i can. Love Dovedale as well, but prefer the area around Mam Tor. Love winter walking, nothing better than a clear blue sky, and the ground white with ice. Also love the chalk downs near Lambourne.

Always better walking with someone.

Always more fun with someone.

They tell me that they'd rather stay alive. I seem to have a bit of a reputation.

Veronica100 said:

a reputation as what?

norfolklad said:

Someone who takes too many risks? I don't know why, I think I'm perfectly safe. After all, I'm still alive.

I love walking on Dartmoor and in the far north-west of Scotland. I think my friends prefer to stay within sight of a road/in mobile contact. I prefer being in places where there aren't even paths, where you can pitch your tent where no-one else is likely to turn up, and being out of mobile contact is vital.

tent?...i've heard of it...thought it was an urban myth

norfolklad said:

I love camping out in the wilds. It's amazing; a nice grassy spot, a stream or river running past with only sheep, deer and ponies for company. Or finding a bothy out in the middle of nowhere. Dependent only on yourself. It has to be experienced to be appreciated.

Veronica100 said:

i will take your word for it

i prefer my camping to be in a five star hotel

norfolklad said:

But imagine staying somewhere like this

No five star hotels anywhere near there and no Michelin Star meal ever tasted as wonderful as anything I cooked for myself there.

But I can see your point. Maybe that's why I can't get anyone to walk with me.
