Anyone absolutely sick of "going for a walk?"

[muscovyduck]

It got insanely awful for a while but the last month I've been forcing myself to go new places I've not been yet because I assumed they were shit never-ending suburban hellscapes and it's gotten a lot better again

 

[bimble]

the novelty of having anything else at all to do seems to be working here - back to pre-pandemic glorious levels of (relatively) empty parks today

Its the same here ! Since Monday at a wild guess I'd say about a third or a quarter as many people here as there were before. This is great for me.

Considering going for a walk, it may take about an hour so that would be me coming home at about 13:30 which is fine. I want to watch the Duke of Edinburgh's funeral later. Sunny out but cold inside, should I take a coat? Larry wants a walk!

In the end I watched the funeral and then went out later. Funeral seemed about right, just imagine what it could have been like without covid, every seat would have been taken and it would have been much less personal.

Nice walk, half way through I went for a lie down to straighten my back as usual and this time I could really feel it being pushed straight, not sure that is so healthy, don't want to do myself an injury.

Walked from Bexley to Petts Wood today, lovely weather

 

[Riklet]

I went for my first walk in months today. I kid you not.

Felt filled with childlike wonder at the beauty of things and how everything is starting to bloom for spring. Def not sick of walking yet!!

Yep. Fed up to the back teeth with "going for a walk". I've walked round the poxy block at lunchtime, been to to the scout camp and back, and round the fucking golf course so often I have fucking had it.

We did a "pretty way" (long) walk to the pub yesterday, and there was a fucking queue when we got there. I'm walking straight down the hill tomorrow, and I'll be at a table half an hour before the pub opens.

i got fed up going for a walk during the winter. Still waiting for it to properly warm up. I have become pathetically sensitive to winter and the cold now, thanks to the horrible one we've just had

Today I actually “went for a walk”.
Found a funny-looking seat.



Don’t really see what all the fuss is about.

 

[hash tag]

I suppose we only did about 5 miles today in rain and shine and still enjoying it.

 

[pbsmooth]

I love going for walks. Urban walks local or in new areas of London exploring, or out in the middle of nowhere getting some fresh air. Also love the rain

 

[marty21]

I'm enjoying walking around Dunwich, Suffolk atm, somewhere which isn't Hackney.

I'm still completely fucking sick of it. In fact I think the blossom appearing and disappearing earlier this year was basically to take the piss.

(((((((FridgeMagnet))))))

We’re almost there and Boris said there’s no going back so at least we’ll always be able to sit inside a pub again from tomorrow.

I've been cycling throughout and now feel the need to walk more!! I might take up running again.

Fitness is good but cycling exercises a very specific muscle set.

Good for the soul.
There is so much to see out there, there is so much to learn and do whatever your neck of the woods.

Thank goodness for the enticing May weather.

Same. All walked out. Something I used to love has a shit load of pandemic grimness spread all over it. I will probably start enjoying it again when other areas of my life pick up again.

Next week I am going to the Peak District and sleeping in a caravan and I'll be going for a PROPER walk!

On my kid free days I often used to drive out to the country with the os map and spend a day rambling. Every cell in my body is resistant of that idea now. That's how much this winter has sapped the joy of it. I need to sit in warm places with people, to connect with folk, maybe have a bit of sex now and then lol, to watch films, go to the theatre. Smell perfume and after shave in the city streets on a Friday night, that Friday night atmosphere.

Once that's in place I'll be back rambling the shit out of Sussex and Surrey.

This winter has been tough.

I walked from west norwood to Brixton tonight and it was a strong 3 out of ten in terms of enjoyment!

 

[miss direct]

I know what you mean. I haven't got a car so options of places to walk have been limited to where I can get to. I will have had one jab by next week so if I am feeling ok about it, I may actually go in a pub and have a drink in the evening. The theatre seems like a dream far far away.

I am doing proper walks this week , Dunwich Forest yesterday morning , this morning a walk around the village , incorporating a ruined priory, cliff tops & beach.

My enthusiasm for walking round the same back streets over and again waned very quickly in the first weeks of lockdown 1.

But I've been in the countryside with access to a car for the last 3 months and being able to drive 2 mins to the woods or hills then have a short or long walk has been great and I'm going to miss it terribly.

If the uk weather puts you off you’ll never leave the house.

It's not bad weather, it is wrong clothing!

Is that when you are fully vaccinated?

I have been known actively to want to murder people at (mudbath) festivals who say this!

Quite right, it's not the clothing that's wrong, but festivals in general.
