I need help. I'm unfit and want to sort it out but always get distracted by just about everything in order to not do much about it except for Yoga every week. I want to find a motivation partner who will help get me into shape by running me around the park and doing some other outdoor exercises. Ideally I want to be in enough shape to start doing a military fitness programme in a few weeks time.

Can anyone help? I live just off Peckham Rye.

Thank you

team - am up for this, do see your PMs.


As for my personal running ambitions - i nearly once did a complete a figure of 8 around dulwich common, then down barry road and around the rye and back to the library. When i say nearly, simply omit the ''then down barry road and around the rye'' section of the route.


I died and it still hurts.

Joe, good to hear from you. Have also replied to your PM.


I was wondering about setting up some regular early morning weekly group runs.


It would need to be early, say 6.30, and run 2 laps of Peckham Rye - about 30 minutes or so.


We could meet on the bit of park opposite the Clockhouse / Roy Brooks.


Are there other people who'd be interested in hooking up?

Thanks Nic,


Sorry I've been so busy with work and working until about 2/3am so getting up at 6 has been a none event. However after reading some interesting info about Kindney and liver regeneration I realised I have to get some idea of routine back. I will give you a shout on Monday evening if I can make it.

Thanks

I can thoroughly recommend British Military Fitness.


They do stuff in lots of London parks, I used to go to the 7am Hyde Park sessions on my way in to work. Having children has made that more difficult.


However if we can drum up enough local interest we might be able to get some classes on e.g. Peckham Rye Common or in Dulwich Park.


There are three levels - blues - reds - greens, with increasing demand on fitness level respectively.


I can definitely say I've never been or felt fitter than after 3 months of it a few years back.


Or if we can't get enough people for a class, I'd be happy to go halves or thirds if anyone wants to hire one of them for personal training.

Fear not, MattC.. this is simply another 'teaser' RE Batdog's ongoing campaign of forum-flirting with DulwichMum (*shudder*)

Team,


i hang my head in shame - following some marathon 5-a-side on monday i fell apart like a rich tea in a cup of earl grey and stayed in bed like biscuity sediment in the bottom of your gran's royal doulton.


See you thursday ***slaps self around face in front of mirror - GRRR you're jogger - you cheat nobody but yourself***


one step at a time, one course at a time.

    • its based on the income  the [to be x] freeholder will lose - ie the ground rent and any service charges. Unless D Estate follows different laws to everybody else.
    • Hi everyone. I’m currently in the process of buying a house on the Dulwich Estate with ~86 years left on the lease. I’ve found it quite hard to get clear information online about the realistic cost of buying the freehold from the Dulwich Estate. I was wondering if anyone here has experience dealing with the Dulwich Estate and, if so, roughly how much it cost to purchase the freehold. I know it will vary depending on the property, but even a ballpark figure would be really helpful so we can decide whether the purchase makes sense for us. Thanks very much in advance.
    • It looks like a tap for the gas lighting that used to be found in those homes. The little tap would regulate the flow of gas to give a brighter or dimmer lamp. It's probably not part of any gas feed now and you can check that for yourself by following the gas pipework from your meter (which should only run to the kitchen to supply a boiler and cooker). Next time you have your boiler serviced, ask the engineer to have a look for you. 
    • Another strong recommendation from me from Peckham Rye area. Paul sent Damian to sort out our tripping sockets. We’d had another electrician come and try to fix it a couple of weeks earlier who was not good, but Damian was extremely thorough and methodical in diagnosing the issue and fixing it. He tested every socket to make sure the problem was sorted. He arrived bang on time and talked me through exactly what he was finding and how the problem had likely come about as he went. Very polite, friendly and excellent value for money. Wouldn’t hesitate to call them again if we need an electrician. Great team,  great service!
