Meep Meep 21 Mar 8:54am, 21 Mar 2025 198 posts	Quote Pin Meep Meep I think those are fair points, that the mere presence of parkwalkers provides reassurance, and that walkers might not necessarily want company. I moaned a little about parkwalkers disappearing into the distance but tbh if I'm walking, I'd actually rather have peace and quiet so not sure there is any pleasing me...

Minnie Mad 23 Mar 11:37am, 23 Mar 2025 6,415 posts	Quote Pin Minnie Mad Now I’m “disabled” I really appreciate parkwalking and love feeling part of something even if I can’t run. I think we have to appreciate all volunteers even if some are a bit rubbish. I’ve walked with nice people and also walkers who are going at their own pace whatever! I’ve been momentarily annoyed by a few runners when l’m being lapped who have taken it upon themselves to tell me to be careful with my Nordic poles. OMG it never occurred to me! I might have told a couple of them to ** *.
