Re: STARTING A WALKING CLUB

Hi Hazel,
Think the idea of starting a walking club is an excellent one.
I started walking 'seriously' when I had to take early retirement through ill health four years ago.... I haven't looked back.
I looked for others to walk with, preferably ladies, and used another site to do this but with little success as those who were interested were all far flung!
I then joined a Ramblers group who were great but walking with 30 or so people each week did not do it for me!
Then found we had an Over 50's walking group in our village which I joined and now lead walks several times a year with them - the only difficulty with this lovely group is that because of the age of some of our group, we have to keep the distance to 5 miles or under
I am planning to walk Hadrian's Wall at some point, hopefully this year, and have done two walking holidays to date - one in the Lakes and one in Umbria, Italy.
Would love to join the Ribbon Walk as volunteer at our local Cancer Shop and this would be the next step ( no pun intended!)
I hope ladies who live in my area will come forward as I would love to walk with others, longer distances.
Hope this is more successful than our Supper Club as to date there are only three of us!!!!!
By the way, thought your planning to prepare for the walk was excellent.
Best wishes
Charlotte

Re: STARTING A WALKING CLUB

Does anyone fancy starting a walking club in north London?
In the actual fresh air, I mean, not walking on a gym treadmill, or round Brent Cross Shopping Centre which is where I tend to walk at present! (I'm from the Yorkshire Pennines so you'd think I'd have found better places to get my exercise....).
IS there any fresh air around N. London?

It would be great if the 3 of us could get a Walking Group going!!

hi - would love to meet any walkers in the Coventry area - have done 2 ribbon walks - 26 mile thames pathway 2 yrs ago - and the derbyshire 20 mile one last year - oh those hills - especially the last one - only our nine yr old granddaughter - who is a cross country runner and orienteerer therefore super fit pulled me over the last hill- how could I give up when she had travelled all that way to see 'nanny' /meet me at the last 'feeding station' and cross the finish line with her nanny - but forget the hills it was great fun - have not signed up this year yet but would love to meet other walkers as previously have more or less trained on my own which is not always the safest option

Re: STARTING A WALKING CLUB

Hi, I live in Bristol and would like to start up a walking club. I am in remission from cancer and attend a special gym class for recovering patients but have been told by my consultant that exercise is important, so would like to do more. I am not working at the moment and would like to have someone to walk with during the day when all my friends are at work.I find it difficult to motivate myself when the weather is poor, although I do enjoy walking. If no one lives near can you suggest how I find out about other walking groups in my area.
Thank you.

I live in Waltham Cross, Herts and would like to go out walking with a companion.
Do you think we live too far away? We could always meet halfway.
At the moment I can only walk weekends and maybe late afternoons and early evenings as I work part time.
Would you be interested?

Hello Rosie,
Nice to hear from you. I am not very fit either but need to get motivated to get fitter and I thought walking would be a good way to do this. I sometimes go walking at Stanick Lakes and Irchester Country Park but it would be nice to have some company. I usually just work three days at the moment and need to get in training as I am doing the Ribbon Walk at Blenheim on June 9th. I also need to loose a bit of weight and thought walking might speed this up.
Hope to hear from you soon Rachel

Are u free Fridays, although i do not work i am a student (a really old one!) and at the moment am revising hard for my exam on june 13th but generally i am free on fridays, wot do you think?? After about June 27th college closes so probably more flexible then, if fridays no good to you - what would suit you, days , evenings ?? cos although i have a lot going on most of what i do does not usually take the whole day up.

Re: STARTING A WALKING CLUB

Walking clubs are great for those who want organised walks at regular, set times. What about those of us unable to walk any distance really that can be considered 'a walk', would like someone to amble along with for half an hour, now and then, when both of you are in the mood? Not everyone is fit enough to do a proper walk, yet amongst us there are those who like to walk, enjoy being outdoors, but just haven't the stamina for any sort of distance. Spare us a thought then, please, as you stride out, eating up the miles.

I'm finding that making new friends takes longer - partly because I travel a lot with work so can't commit to regular groups/classes.

Re: STARTING A WALKING CLUB

Hi
There is a walking club just started near Cheltenham, which might be too far away. Their first walk was in Winchcombe, but I think the next one is in Painswick. Details somewhere on this site!! I live in Gloucester, and would be interested in starting a walking group during the week. I am not working during the day either so would prefer to meet up during the week. Is there anyone else in the Gloucestershire/Herefordshire area who would be interested in meeting up for a walk and possibly lunch during the week? I do this with a friend from time to time anyway, and it's very enjoyable.
Anyone else who may be interested, please leave a message.

Re: STARTING A WALKING CLUB

Hi Hazel. Interested in joining you for your training - I have no immediate plans for a charity walk, although have done small ones in the past, but have always wanted to do something to stretch myself - even thinking on the lines of the trek to South Africa - I like power walking and often go out on my own along the seafront so if your up for company please let us know.... Would be good to have some company and a definite time table.
Look forward to hearing from you.

Hi Songbird,
Would love to join you, I am in West London. How far North are you?
Weekends might be a good idea pending on the distance as I work full time. OH and daughter run but I am not in that league.I sometimes go to the river up to Hammersmith Bridge and across to Barnes down the tow path.
I shall be doing the 5km race for life in June at Richmond Park and have registered my daughter too though she might leave me behind.

Hello
Sorry to write 'out of the blue' like this, when the messages you wrote to Chris and Cassie were nearly 2yrs ago!
I am completely new to this - and a complete technophobe into the bargain - but I just read your messages and I live near Stockport. I have alot of good friends who enjoy walking, but we don't do it as often as we used to and with just losing my Mum in November, I'd like to branch out and perhaps meet some new people -
Don't know what you guys have established or how this whole thing works, but loved the article in Jan '09 issue re loads of people meeting and getting together through the forums.
Regards
Jessica Reynolds

Hi there,
I live in Ashington in West Sussex. If anybody is interested in starting up a walking club in this area, can you let me know?
I walk with my two rough collies at the moment and one is a very reluctant walker and the other one is a hyperactive walker.
I am in the middle being used as a restraint device. I enjoy walking, but enjoy laughing more. Also, the dogs, gorgeous though they are have very limited conversation, although they do have very expressive ears!
All the best
Alexandra
