I know, I know! I know I've been missing in action for a while. What was meant to be a short holiday break for the Chinese New Year turned into an unexpectedly long pause. My other priorities took precedence, and I wish I could have dedicated more time to this project. Many listeners and followers reached out, asking if this podcast had been cancelled. Rest assured, it hasn't. However, there may occasionally be brief pauses due to other financial and personal responsibilities. Thank you all for your understanding, and most importantly, I appreciate your continued interest in this program.
The Simple Pleasures of an Urban Ramble - New York Times
Part I:
Clustered outside a tube station, 20 or so Londoners were preparing to roam around Tufnell Park, which is not actually a park, in their role as part of a Ramblers group, who do not, by the most rigid definition, ramble.
The Inner London chapter of the Ramblers is a coalition of 10 walking groups scattered throughout the city. This particular offshoot, the Metropolitan Walkers, is geared at people in their 20s and 30s, though they are not very strict about the age cutoff.
Part II:
These scenes might seem incompatible with the idea of rambling, a treasured Britishism that evokes sunny strolls through the fields.
Part workout regimen, part social club, ramblers groups combine two wellness truisms: Walking is good for you, and so is spending time with others.
The Inner London Ramblers groups attract all kinds of walkers, but lately, they seem to have become landing strips for people undergoing transitions.
Part III:
Ramblers walk in all weather. In Andrew Strouthous’s four years leading walks for the London Strollers, a group focused on shorter distances, he’s only seen one walk canceled — and that was when the path flooded.
Mr. Strouthous had been part of the walking group for around eight years, but he became a walk leader during lockdown.
Mr. Strouthous meticulously plans the routes ahead of time, making sure they’re scenic and not too arduous, and have a good spot to stop for lunch.
Part IV:
Ramblers like to end their walks with some form of celebration.
