The Urban Rambler

Dressed for the occassion

Another weekend and another walk – this time near Arundel. The description made it sound like a lovely long stroll…

…in the summer it probably is.

As it had rained recently the ground and paths were swampy but we had gone to far to give up.

Having spent the first few miles trying to not fall over we just got on with it…repeatedly.

We had everyday clothes on which made things a little more precarious – we looked like muddy urchins or you might say we embraced the path of the urban rambler.

The credo

Surely getting outdoors doesn’t have to mean you are getting old? Can’t you have fun and go for a walk without needing a flask of tea? Maybe it was the endorphins flowing from the numerous cuts and stings we suffered but we plotted to write some better accounts of the walks for others to read and some walking boots to make the next ramble a bit more feasible.

“…maybe it was the endorphins flowing from the numerous cuts and stings we suffered…”

Being an urban rambler is good. Getting muddy, stung, cut and bruised is actually pretty fun. Crazy to think that I used to waste so much time playing games instead of getting out and doing things like this.

Looking forward to summer to get more hours to roam around.

This would be pretty nice to have for the summer too – it was so well looked after.
