well it feels good , I am up for it
Cleaning your ears after a shower
The cold side of the pillow when you flip it over in the middle of the night.
Taking your shoes and socks off when you come home from work
cup of tea , two sugars , sabbath cd box set
...probably wanking down lambeth
After going for an early morning swim, having a shave using Proraso shaving soap and a good quality double-edged razor, then finally having a relaxing Starbucks coffee.
You've got a CD of David Cameron?
Good quality toilet paper
A great pleasure I discovered just a few years ago is walking with good company in our wonderful countryside (preferably with the sea in view at some stage) for a several hours, stopping en route to take in the view, to have coffee and picnic breaks and for an occasional breather when the going is tough - and retiring to a pub (these days just the garden) for a drink and communal chat afterwards. It's something I have become addicted to and rarely does a weekend go by without my organising such a day or two.
It makes one appreciate nature more, it's healthy and it's a sociable activity too. It's not rock and roll but I like it.
Quite a lot of my mates do this most weekends too, all mid 40’s plus now and looking for something a bit more interesting than a pub. In saying that a beer garden stop is usually part of it....
A one wipe poo
Sitting in the garden listening to birdsong, whilst drinking a well made cup of Darjeeling tea and eating a generous slice of Victoria Sponge.
Is that you, Alan Bennett?
If he was Alan Bennett he would be drinking Yorkshire tea and eating a macaroon!
Wasn't he also into toasted tea cakes and Fondant Fancies?
I think you may be right. If Thora Hird was still around we could ask her.
Are you a member of the ramblers ?
No. Never having really been a walker I joined a few Meetup walking groups a few years ago. I now lead walks for three of them inbetween leading walks along the SW Coastal Path for my friends via a Facebook group I set up. My fellow walkers tell me that the Ramblers can be very serious but I don't have any experience of them myself. Having a pint or two at then end and after several hours of strenuous exercise doesn't make me too guilty
We do a lot of walking (Pennines, UK national trails and European walking holidays) but just cannot get into group walks. We do go out with another couple once in a blue moon, and have sometimes been with groups on guided walks abroad but otherwise just the two of us. The main reason is not inherent anti-sociability (well, maybe me a bit) but because we want to set our own pace, and not be held back by the slowest. It does turn some walks into more of a route march than a stop-start ramble, but there is nothing better than getting into a good rhythm on a ridge or high moor and feel the heart and lungs pumping on the way up and the knees screaming on the way down! I agree about the pub at the end, though!No. Never having really been a walker I joined a few Meetup walking groups a few years ago.

I know what you mean and it's ironic that it's the only activity I do in groups as I am usually a very independent type. However, I have met some great friends this way and I also enjoy doing something for other people to look forward to. I do other 'offline' walks without groups but with a friend or five.
Tiger Bay Ramblers down this way are a bit too serious for me , will have a look on meet up .No. Never having really been a walker I joined a few Meetup walking groups a few years ago.

What sort of gear do you wear for walking ?
I have decent walking trainers for summer use
But now its autumn and winter coming I guess I should get myself some waterproof trousers ......is there such a thing , some base layers and a jacket .
I am not one for hiking up pen y fan in the pissing wind and rain
I'm not a walking apparel nerd so I'm not the best person to ask. You do need waterproof boots for the wet weather though. Boots not only give your ankle more support than hardy shoes but you are likely to trudge through environments where the water would enter your shoes at ankle level.
I have a pair of hi tech eurohikes , a decent budget walking boot
I tend to walk on roads , the local farmers round here are a bit odd
They don't like outsiders
