Walking Partner

[stewartgholman]

Hi I'm a 51 year old male looking for a female walking partner to do a couple of hours walking in the evenings from 7pm

[cella]

Hi

Where were you thinking of walking?

[Sue]

Why does the person need to be female?

[stewartgholman]

At the moment I'm walking around Dulwich Park but won't be able to do this after the end of the month so will looking at walking local as long as I can achieve the miles. Would be open to surgestions. I ned to do this to get fit and healthier.

[stewartgholman]

I find it easier to get on and chat with women than men

[cella]

Well I usually do an 8-10 mile outside London walk with friends each week and try to keep active around that. Wouldn't mind some local treks but not every evening if that's what you mean?! Is there a reason you can't use Dulwich Oark any longer or us that for personal reasons?

[beansprout]

With the nights getting shorter, personally surprised you want to walk at that time of night. Parks will be closed when it gets dark locally - Battersea Park is worth walking in as they have lights on the pathway all hours of the night plus free parking.

If you can do during the day, which I assume is not the case then On a Thursday at 11am, walk around Ruskin Park for an hour. If you google healthy walks you will find walks during the day in most boroughs.

Sorry not to be of much help - in summer months, sure ramblers have walks in evening - only other thing I can recommend is gym, boring or going for walks in London. Have them all over every night - think cost is aprox 8/10 and you get a discount for subsequent ones. Qualified guide hence price.

I could be interested in that we could try it out one evening and see how it goes

[stewartgholman]

I can only do that time as I don't get in from work till 6 then time I've eaten it's getting on for seven before I can get out so it has to be local as I don't drive and this is something I now need to do every night

I'd love to, but does the female have to know first aid or anything? I am not being cheeky , it's a valid question.

[stewartgholman]

No they dont

So, any thoughts?

There was a post on here some time ago about Kent country walks , i will get back to you on that one.

[stewartgholman]

I will no longer be able to use Dulwich Park from the end of the month a it will close to early. I'm open to suggestions as where to walk

[stewartgholman]

We could arrange an evening to meet and see how it goes

[Robert Poste's Child]

Not being funny but have you thought about getting or borrowing a dog? There are probably lots of people locally who'd be happy to have someone give their dog a nice long walk in the evening.

[cella]

Ok. Do you want to suggest where/when? Anyone else - could be fun in a small informal group?

[beansprout]

I would be game one night a week, poss more depending on my schedule. Doubt anyone would be interested, but have always wanted to walk round roads in ED looking at street art and there are also a couple dotted around Dulwich. Can?t do Monday. PM me if you are interested - think it is a great idea, but would like to meet first.

hi stewartgholman

I found the link to the Kent walks, it was posted on EDF , I've been on the Shoreham one , it's a long trek but enjoyable, possible a weekender

hi I have just posted about the same topic.

if you don't mind me joining your group if it happens I'll be very happy to do a walk.

Cella is your week end group full ? ( I would prefer weekend so this would be perfect)

[cella]

Hi

Well I really just responded to the original op and have sent messages. Two of us have suggested a date and an outing but no word from the op!!
