Why don't you go on the London walks?

[wiskey]

i dont really like going on a 'walk' which is really a pub crawl.

i also dont really like walking on concrete. which is probably why the last one i came on was a river one

In many ways I concurr, it effectively falls between two stools..

You wanna go for a walk? You go for a walk

You wanna go for a drink? You go to the pub

You wanna go on a pub craw? You go to lots of pubs with short walks.

For me, ( in an ideal world ), there would be a start pub, a finishing pub, and maybe 1 pub in the middle..

Less drinking and more walking!!

 

[bluestreak]

because i forget, or i'm busy, or i'm hungover

i went on one on saturday though. it was and i met a farmer and saw a gin factory and an onion shed and lambeth's secret nuclear attack thunderbirds base.

Exciting poll to follow!

I have not seen you at many lately

.. that's what its all about bluestreak.. adding depth and texture to the lived environment.

That's more than enough pubs/drinking though! How often have there been more pubs than that??

y'see to me thats three pubs too many!

 

[Mrs Magpie]

For me the ideal would be meeting in a caff, doing the walk, then decent pub right at the end....

 

[Hollis]

Well I'm happy to cut out the middle one..

 

[Hollis]

Still.. I'm getting a general vibe of disinterest even in discussing why we are disinterested... So be it...!!

 

[Mrs Magpie]

Do you mean disinterest? I suspect not.....

 

[Biddlybee]

I would like to go on more London walks tbh.. I usually miss them because I'm doing something else or I didn't know about it.

I think Mrs.M's idea is a goodun:

[wiskey]

yeah i'd go with that.

personally i would have it as meet in caff, go on walk, find a tea shop for half time cake, continue to walk. finish somewhere to eat something

but as that doesnt involve pubs i can see i wont get far with it

 

[Biddlybee]

It involves cakes and food though... I'd be up for it

 

[Hollis]

I think the lack of pub at the end's abit of a non-goer! However, in the - as yet not happening - sewerage pipe walk, the possibility of food aswell at the end has been mooted.

 

[boohoo]

I loved the way you described it - - you will have to come on all my walks to make them sound cool.

Was this the walk before Prod?

 

[boohoo]

Perhaps a special rôle can be created for William....he can go ahead of the walkers by bus and save tables and seats in the pub.....

Excellent idea!!! Best job for him!!

 

[boohoo]

Was this the walk before Prod?

I think it was - I got told about the nuclear bunker - was it all up and around Myatt's fields?

 

[Biddlybee]

oh, I thought it was your walk

 

[Guineveretoo]

I like this idea, and would be happy to eat in a pub afterwards (I don't suppose it could be a non-smoking pub?)

Other than that, I love the idea of London walks, and of (easy, flat) countryish walks. I simply haven't been able to go on one yet!

 

[wtfftw]

Round Myatt's fields? more info please. I used to live on knatchbull road.

I don't come on walks because walking more than 600metres is difficult with my disability (even at a slow pace).
Not sure what I'm doing on this thread really.

Me too

Optional cakes halfway round if it's a long un

 

[pinkmonkey]

I do want to go on one but they have all clashed with something else. Now we have a dog I think you might see us - he needs his exercise.

 

[Hollis]

Hmm.. the sewerage pipe walk, theoretically kind of ends at Springfield Marina!

 

[Mrs Magpie]

I reckon the 'nuclear bunker' near Myatts Field refers to the 'submarine' in the middle of Akerman Rd which is something to do with the heating system that was on Myatt's Field Estate before they fitted central heating in each house.....

Is that what it is? I've always wondered (but never thought it was a nuclear bunker).

 

[LDR]

I don't go on them much since Mrs Griff stopped cooking for me.

Ah that. I was corrected on what it was many years ago. It's def a submarine in urban camoflage. All these heating stories are a cover up...

Isn't it ventilation for the tube network?
