Paved paradise... The value of a walk, a stroll, a tramp, a hike has come into a clearer vision of late. Covid/Delta has a massive raft of negatives attached to it for everyone, but one thing it did do is get people walking. Sure, they may not have been out on overnight hikes or climbing mountains, but they were outside walking, not stuck behind a desk or in front of a screen, and felt the real need and the value of simply walking outside. The old adage in Joni Mitchell’s song ‘You don’t know what you’ve got till it gone’ is very true. Take away the option of activities, add confinement, add uncertainty and you soon see the value in a simple walk. The actual clinical value is extremely well documented and the simple benefits of an hours walk per day; will burn calories, strengthen muscles, maintain flexibility and strengthen your cardiovascular. It can even lower your blood sugar and one research said that those who walked an hour per day lived up to twenty years longer. Another range of internal benefits to simply walking is that it clears the mind and connects us with nature, even in a city setting. It encourages conversation and gives creativity of thought. A few years back I had a subtalar fusion on my left foot (you can google that), the recovery was hard. I had all sorts of physical therapy, acupuncture, salty water injections and it remained painful and inflexible. I had resigned myself to it and its lack of use. Then my wife bought me a dog, a big dog, a dog that needs a walk. Even though uncomfortable, the simple process of walking, regularly, had huge remedial effects. To the point, I called the surgeon who had done the operation and suggested to him if his patients are slow to recover, tell them to buy a dog and walk! The truth is we could all do with walking a little more, but often we allow things to get in the way; family, work, weather, but during the lockdown, people took the time to walk and talk, what else are you doing to do right? Yet everyone who walked each day for exercise during lockdown, saw the value in it. The trick now is to maintain the momentum. Keep walking, strolling, hiking, tramping - welcome to the tramping and camping issue we know it will keep you motivated.
