When we are parents we get so excited about our children taking their first walking steps that we can't wait to tell everyone about it. What do we do then?

We cage them in a play-pen so that they can't escape.

Does it get any better from then on? I don't think so.

We either take them to pre-school in a buggy or in the car. When they are a little bit older we put them on a school bus. As soon as they are in their teens they learn to drive and as a consequence all of that excitement of the early years of taking those initial steps has been lost.

Then after having taken away from our children the desire to travel anywhere on foot the desire to enjoy this most pleasant of exercises has been lost.

We have taught them to be just like us and shown them the way to lead a sedentary life. One day suddenly and i hope that it is not too late, we get a wake up call that our health is not as good as it should be

You can do it Anywhere, Anytime, Day or Night whatever the weather.

Me, I love walking. When I was a kid growing up we had a dog and even at the age of 7 my sister and I would in the summer go off and spend the whole day in the countryside.

When I was a young man I bought a dog for company and naturally he had to be taken for a walk 2 or 3 times a day. I loved it. It got me away from the grind of work and into Gods wonderland.

Yes it is a wonderful, purposeful way to spend some time out in the open air and escape from the pressures of life.
