I’m not keen on rain either and never set off in it. I usually avoid walking far unless the forecast is okay. Once or twice I’ve been caught out ‘on the tops’ in heavy rain and it wasn’t much fun!

I’m a walker and a cyclist so I’ve experienced both aspects of sharing paths. I’ve noticed an increasing number of people using MP3 players so I half expect people not to hear me approaching and pass with caution.

My back isn’t great, but I’ve found that regular exercise does strengthen it. I always wear either a small Camelbak bag or a rucksack to carry stuff on my back. Never carry a bag over one shoulder because it twists your back and that WILL make it hurt.

The ‘pee’ problem might be due to taking in too much caffeine before you go out. I used to have that problem so now I only drink water before a walk or a bike ride and that definitely helps. I usually have a large tea or coffee afterwards.

Dogs – I completely agree!

I prefer to catch a train or bus out then walk back though sometimes I do it the other way round for a change.
