New walker/scrambler/climber
by StriderHello Everybody,
Just joined this site and pleased to see there's lots going-on and I hope to be joining some of the walks, although some seem to be filling-up fast...
I frequently walk around Bestwood Country Park and surrounding area to escape, when there isn't time to get into the Peak - but this is more suited to those fairly local as only up to 7-8 miles. Let me know if anyone is interested in joining me sometime.
Interested in meeting climbers too...
Maybe see some of you soon 🙂

Welcome to the site Strider, yep lots going on and unless the invite says restricted numbers then feel free to put your name down on any walks you fancy, the more the merrier 🙂
MoMorningdawnThere are a few climbers but managing to get out with them seems hard work ☹
HeHedgehogThanks for the welcome and info everyone 🙂
StStriderHello Strider - there's a few of us ODers from Nottingham and the surrounding areas, so you're in good company 🙂

chchrism72Thanks Sunny, Carpe Diem, Menilmontant and Jill - hope to catch-up with you all at some point...
StStriderCheers Chrism72, saw that and would love to go but birthday celebration to attend Sat evening. Walking in the Peak Sunday instead. Next time...🙂
Strider: hi Strider, welcome to OD! You're very brave walking round Bestwood haha! V🙂
VoVonnieThanks V. As long as people think that it will remain wild and unspoilt and not over-run with people, like so many other manicured and managed parks around here. So keep it to yourself 🙂
StStriderWhen the evenings lighten-up I'll show you.
Strider: ok but I agree with you there. I used to do a walk the back end of Hardwick through Teversal and now it's all managed and overflow car parks ☹ ruined!
