I am really enjoying finding new places to walk at the moment, it's so much better when the weather is compliant! Took a walk around Bourne Wood recently, so many cool things have been filmed there! Gladiator, band of brothers, loads more
The walking thread
- Thread starter bainbridge
- Start date
About 6 months into the Covid lockdowns I realised I needed to do something as I was working from home and not going anywhere so weight was creeping up. I started doing half hour walks at lunchtime and worked my way up to doing about an hour 4 or 5 lunchtimes a week and sometimes then did an hour after work as well. Then on weekends I would generally do 2-3 hours a day. I kept this up for about 3 years and now I do about 45 minutes 3 lunchtimes a week and an hour or 2 on weekends (generally find a supermarket with 3 hour parking, park up, do a walk then a bit of shopping on the saturday, and go somewhere parky or seafronty on most sunday mornings).
Gonna be 50 next year so want to keep on it, but my mile times have dropped from about high 13/ low 14 minutes at my quickest to about 16 minutes now.

Always wanted to walk about Bourne Wood and explore it! Perhaps one day.
