Raw Walk!
Hello Everyone,
I haven't yet had the pleasure of meeting many of you but I do hopefully look forward to doing so in the near future time. I'm not usually an attendee to the potlucks, so I do tend to miss many opportunities to meet the group members. It's so nice to see a budding and growing group of raw foodies in this cool climate of ours in Scotland, esp' in winter! I know many find it challenging to stay warm in winter but many of those that I've spoken to eat raw like they are living in the Bahamas! Anyway, the main reason I tend to avoid indoor meetups is I overheat quickly because I eat for a much cooler environment and I seem to prefer the outdoors! I also like to eat in silence!
To the point of this discussion, I'm looking to get back into walking again, after being so busy with business and DIY projects of late. The first walk that I had in mind was a mainly flat level walk from Drymen to Milngavie just outside Glasgow. The walk itself forms the first part of the West Highland Way route but in reverse and is approx' 4-5 hours. If anyone is interested in joining up you are most welcome. The meeting point would be Milngavie train station where we would get a bus to Drymen and we would be walking back to Milngavie train station. I haven't thought of a date yet but it would probably be a Saturday morning Mar/Apr? The walk would be a good way to meet and share insights and ideas as well as picking some wild foods along the way. The only cost involved would be getting to the meeting point and a one way bus ticket to Drymen, not sure off hand how much, but probably £5 or thereabouts. The weather would also be a deciding factor if the walk goes ahead, not much fun in the rain!
Yours in heat!

Love the idea of this..especially picking some wild greens on the way! Unfortunately, don't see how I could work round baby feeding times??? Hmmm...will check back once more details have been finalised.

Hi Gail,
Yes, feeding times! I think the baby would need its own little H2o feed but full of milk-:)

That sounds great Bob, I'm in! I love walking and the idea of picking wild food really appeals to me. I'm happy to give people lifts from Glasgow/Lanarkshire too if needed.

Hi Claudia,
The best option is to go on a wild food walk with someone who knows what to eat. Seeing the foods in their natural environment and in real life beats looking at them from books hands down. There are many wild foods not mentioned in books that can still be eaten as well, so books do have their limitations. If you are into fungi, which I'm not, then most definitely use an experienced guide as most of the poisonous plants fall into the fungi category, if it doubt leave it out!
I think I know the walk you are referring to, sounds at real treat:)

I bet juggler is GREAT exercise. For the brain, with the hands crossing the body's mid-line is beneficial.
