Welcome
Well, you have discovered The Reluctant Walker & Co. A site dedicated to walking and the outdoors.
I am, or perhaps it is more accurate to say now, that I was a reluctant walker. I hated walking, for me, it was the last form of exercise.
Because I disliked it so much I know every possible excuse there is not to go for a walk.
All of that changed in 2016, after a period of illness I decided I would give walking another try and took the decision to become intentional about walking. This life-changing decision was reached because of a number of trips to the hospital in the back of an ambulance. All of my excuses paled into insignificance. I learned that I had to take control and manage my life and my own conditions. I found that there is plenty of help available to enable the achievement of this goal.
As a reluctant walker, I have an understanding of some of the challenges to be faced.
In any venture part of the answer is found in the company we have with us, hence the site name: The Reluctant Walker & Co. – the “& Co.” stands for, good company, good equipment, good advice, these can make all the difference.
It is my aim in creating this site to write of my experience and to share aspects of the good company I have found on my journeys.
My Motto is: “Forward”
