Quoted message said:I'm overweight and so am interested in walking for weight loss,rather
than for recreational reasons.I go to the gym,but wanted to add walking
to my routine to add some variety.So I want to know if it's possible to
walk from Birmingham to either Redditch or Coventry? I know these are
very long walks, and I will probably walk one way, and then rather than
walking all the way back, just catch a bus or train to return to
Birmingham.
Fitting walking and other exercise into your daily routine is a good way to
lose weight. I've got maybe two walks planned for today seeing as I woke up
too late to go for a run (doesn't feel right if I don't go early), one will
be along the river, up through the woods, back over the suspension bridge,
across the Downs to Elliss Brighams (want to look at some gaiters for
plodding through snow if they're open for the skiers this time of year) down
to the town centre via Field & Trek and back along the docks to look at the
boats. If I've got time after that I'll fling my rucksack on and go via a
pleasant enough disused railway line, keeping an eye out for local birdlife,
to dump some plastic bottles for recycling at Sainsbury's and stock up on
pork pies.
This is ofcourse more time efficient than driving to the shops and then
driving somewhere else to go for a walk and leaves me more time to go for
the coveted top poster slot.
