Come and Join the Netwalk
Confession time.... I'm a reluctant networker. I enjoy meeting people and love the work I do, but I find the standard breakfast networking meeting a challenge. I do however love to walk with people and find that time spent out in the beautiful Wye Valley with friends can be most productive and not just for my fitness.
I will be organising monthly walks from September 2016 and if you'd like to come and join me please get in touch.
10 Reasons to Join the Netwalk
1) Space to think
"Walking is also an ambulation of mind." Gertel Ehrlich
"If you want to know if your brain is flabby, feel your legs." Bruce Barton
2) Friends to make
"Walking inspires and promotes conversation that is grounded in the body, and so it gives the soul a place where it can thrive. I think I could write an interesting memoir of significant walks I have taken with others, in which intimacy was not only experienced but set fondly into the landscape of memory” Thomas Moore, Soul Mates
3) Composure to regain
"The best remedy for a short temper is a long walk." Jacqueline Schiff
"There is more to life than increasing its speed.' Ghandi
4) Serendipity to encourage
"In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks." John Muir
“Discoveries are often made by not following instructions, by going off the main road, by trying the untried.” Frank Tyger
5) Evolution to hold back
"There is this to be said for walking: It's the one mode of human locomotion by which a man proceeds on his own two feet, upright, erect, as a man should be, not squatting on his rear haunches like a frog." Edward Abbey
6) Physical fitness to improve
"The sovereign invigorator of the body is exercise, and of all the exercises walking is the best." Thomas Jefferson
"The ideal aerobic exercise is walking. Virtually everyone can do it, almost anywhere. You should have little difficulty elevating your heart rate into your training range on a sustained basis, and it does not put undue strain on any of your joints." Grossman, M.D., Fantastic Voyage
7) Illness to fend off
"Walking is a man's best medicine." Hippocrates
"Above all do not lose your desire to walk. Everyday I walk myself into a state of well being and walk away from every illness. I have walked myself into my best thoughts and I know of no thought so burdensome that one cannot walk away from it. But by sitting still, and the more one sits still, the closer one comes to feeling ill ... if one keeps on walking everything will be alright." Soren Kierkegaard.
8) Weight to lose
9) It worked for ARISTOTLE
After Aristotle's death, a legend arose that he was a "peripatetic" lecturer – that he walked about as he taught.
10) Beats all other forms of networking HANDS DOWN!
