Could you be a bit more vague please?


As a rule, pedestrians always have right of way, even on a highway (within reason for a highway). 'Pedestrian' does not cover joggers, runners, cyclists etc.

So the people that walked on the pathway are now all walking together on the grass.

I dont want to walk on the grass because of the dog mess and also I'm badly allergic to wasps and they often buzz around low around grass.

No what makes sense is what an earlier poster said.

Joggers use the bridleway and walkers use the pavements and other paths to walk in.

I object strongly to your suggestion that all walkers should walk on the grass because Joggers should have right of way.

Smells trollish to me

paulipedia - to suggest all tarmac covered surfaces (roads, pavement, paths connecting different areas of park) should be for joggers only is not reasonable. Basically you?re saying Dulwich Park is a sports ground but if you want to walk or go with family then must mind you don?t get in the way of the runners as they have priority.

Doesn?t sound like a serious suggestion, or option.

How about don't take your dogs? Therefore no dog mess,no dogs dragging their owners too close to other people,no dog owners flouting the lockdown rules by taking their dogs out several times a day. Studies have implicated dogs in the spread of this virus, seems like heaping Pelion on Ossa, risk-wise.


That's a simple proposal everyone can follow, and would be very effective.

This

I?m not suggesting all joggers have right of way on pavements. My observation is that most parks I?ve been to people are sticking to the paths and leaving a lot of space. If you want to minimise your risk of infection go where there aren?t people. Wow

Out this morning every single or pair of joggers skirted right round me or crossed the road well in advance, and each time I thanked them for it.


Only one guy forced me to wait in the middle of a pedestrian crossing, so we would not meet on the pavement I was crossing over to and he was running on. He could have detoured into the grass area but chose not to. He thanked me for waiting though. I think runner fatigue can clearly sometimes interfere with judgement!

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
