The Urban Rambler
A swampy walk near Arundel in everyday clothes: muddy, stung and cut, and actually pretty fun.
Dressed for the occasion
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 too 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.

Being an urban rambler is good. Getting muddy, stung, cut and bruised is more fun than it sounds. 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 lovely to have for the summer too – it was so well looked after.
