The Guardian really couldn't get any worse could it. Article for the sake of an article. Yes I'm British, walking is exploration and time to think, to socialise. I don't understand the motivation of someone, like the author, to live in a country they clearly dislike.
- Neil44 6y agoEvery time you think you’ve seen Peak Guardian...
- conistonwater 6y agoIsn't it some kind of an opinion fluff piece in the "Lifestyle" section?
- morsch 6y agoI like how it goes on and on and on. Aimlessly, like the walks she dislikes. Looking forward to the next article on how she doesn't like sushi. Having fish and chips? A joy. A good Bouillabaisse? A delight! But raw fish with soy sauce and rice? Thanks, but no. Ok.
- binbag 6y agoIt's a humorous piece. Take it less seriously.
- dtf 6y agoThere's "We should celebrate walking in Britain now more than ever" [1] from the Daily Telegraph if that's more your bag: "At 9pm, with only the faintest glow left in the west, the birds stopped singing. Venus blazed and, as darkness deepened, others joined: Arcturus, Procyon, the Plough. A breeze riffled ink-black trees. Bats swooped. Something scuttered in the hedge. I knew exactly where I was; I’d walked this circuit of country lanes many times, and since lockdown almost daily. But I’d never done it at night. This time I wasn’t just walking with my legs; I was walking with every pore, every nerve. ..." Could almost be written by Boris himself.

- Veen 6y agoThe Guardian certainly does get worse than this article. It's a light and humorous look at a British cultural quirk from an outsider's perspective. I quite enjoyed it. We should think ourselves lucky it's not yet another tedious exploration of how, for example, hiking is racist and we should all be ashamed.
- bengale 6y agoPurple articles are from the lifestyle section. They’re not really meant to be hard hitting news or anything.
