When I first moved to the Heathcote Valley, I resolved, now that I had the
world at my feet, that I would walk on the hills every day. I did for a
while too. I had my sister, a keen walker, staying with me, and each
morning we would set off to explore another part of the valley.
Unfortunately, when she returned to Wellington, my resolve melted as
other activities pushed themselves in to the time I had set aside for
walking. Determined to do more walking, I have decided that the best
way to keep myself motivated is to make a public commitment!
I am sure I'm not the only person in the valley who would enjoy a brisk walk around the streets and lower hills – not too brisk because I like to stop and smell the flowers too. Every Tuesday morning a small group of us leave from outside the Upshot Coffee Shop and have a very pleasant one hour's walk.
If you would like to get out and about a bit more or know someone living alone who might enjoy a bit of extra socialising, feel free to join us. I have the name of someone who is unable to come on Tuesdays but would love to have a companion to walk with on a Monday morning. Likewise, I am very happy to connect people of similar walking strengths who might find the Tuesday group too slow or too fast for them.
My phone number is 384 3321.
