Advantages: Health for a start

Disadvantages: Means you have to get up!

As most Dooyoo members who read my opinions will know i am very anti car and have written many op's opposing the excessive use of cars and i feel that this subject is closly related.

Every couple of months me and my family go to Norfolk for the weekend and stay in a cottage in a quite little village which is surrounded by beautiful countryside.

There is nothing better than going for a long walk down by the river and stopping for lunch in a pub in the middle of nowhere then taking a long walk back.

Now why people feel the need to drive everywhere i will never understand,you pollute the environment not to mention the traffic fumes you inhale whilst in a car,you get lazy ande no exersize at all.
To many people just jump in the car for the sake of it to go to the sweetshop,park etc etc and believe me i've seen people driving to the end of the road to drop their kids at school this i find really ridiculous.

Walking is so much better for you it improves your breathing,burns calories,firms up droopy bits,sheds the pounds where shall i stop.
Walking is a very basic skill that is given to nearly all of us and we should make good use of it and use our legs as nature intended TO WALK after all if we were supposed to drive evrywhere why have toes or feet even.

WALKING is good for you and who knows you may get used to it and want to extend your boundries to hill walking,hiking even orienteering and believe me i find it real fun running around finding points and enjoying the scenery in the welsh countryside.

This op is aimed at all the lazy people out there get off your butt and on those pegs.
