But... what will you do? I love a walk. Unless children are involved.

I hate going for a walk. Well I don't mind so much if I'm walking to a pub or the shops. But I never ever go just for a walk.

No way are you being unreasonable. But I’m saying that with a fighting 5 and 6 year old who basically complain about going for a walk and then fight the entire way on the walk....sigh.

What will I DO?

The zoo, the farm, swimming, shopping, go to the pub, a cafe, a restaurant, go to the gym, the fair, theme parks, flying lessons, scuba diving, concerts, horse riding, coffee, hairdressers, get my nails done, soft play, play dates ...

Swimming sounds delightful op!

If I never utter the words "go for a walk" again, it will be too soon!

With you on this one OP. I am SO SO bored of walking and I live in a place with easy reach (5 mins walk) of beautiful coastline. Sick of walking and being cold, walking and being rained on (or snowed on today), walking and trying to stay out of people’s way, just totally fed up of it!

Go to the library, a bookshop, museums, art galleries, go to a city just because, watch a ballet, a musical, a play ...

I'll quite happily go for another walk but only if it's a walk somewhere in a lovely foreign country in beautiful sunshine. A walk anywhere within a 20 mile radius of my front door, never again!

I think I must be in the minority that I haven’t been for one ‘walk’ throughout the last 13 months.

My mother is obsessed with going for a walk EVERY day. She complains if they have one day when they don't go for one and she asks me every single day if we've been for one and gives me a lecture if we haven't. It's at the point now where I always, always say yes even if we haven't just to avoid the lecture about fresh air and exercise 😂

God yes.

We went for a drive yesterday 😂 I was like, oh no, we’ve become people who go for a drive.

In my defence I’m 9 months pregnant and walking isn’t super fun.

Yep. Walking is fine if it’s to get from a-z, or walk the dog, or at work (I walk miles). But otherwise walking, just because, nope - not for me.

Even our dog is sick of going on walks.
YANBU.

I have a toddler so when I say 'let's go for a walk' he hears 'let's take an age to get as far as the neighbor's house then you should throw yourself on the ground and refuse to move'.

Fuck walks.

Agree .... well, I probably will but just so bored of walking, I walked to the shops this morning (hour's round trip) and was going to have another walk this afternoon but secretly pleased that it seems to be raining heavily Grin.

I am so sick of my two, huge, beautiful local parks. For a few weeks I've been medically unable to drive, so can only do walks from the door. Can't wait for a hilltop coastal walk with a pub at the end though.

It will be bloody bliss when most of the lockdown walkers stop invading our village, I walk the dog at 5.30am at weekends now

If you are going to places that will be open, wearing face coverings where required, and not going short distances by car, then YANBU to never go on a walk other than to get to a place such as these again.

More space for dog walkers, even the dog who did not like me this afternoon.

I’m assuming you’ve got children from your username so what have you been doing, especially at the weekends? My children would’ve gone crazy if we stayed in, especially when it was miserable in January.
