Night Walking

[MAJOR METAL]

I have found recently one of the most tranquil expirences I am enjoying lately is going for a nice long walk (1 1/2 - 2 Hours) later in the evening usually after 11 pm. There are several reasons I like walking this late at night , its dark and its usually greatly cooled off from the day. For the most part no one else is out and about or driving around , I really dont like bright head lights comming at me as I am walking at night but most importently it's Quite ! If you are able to fit this into your daily routine I highly recomend it to clear your head , to think, pray or just get your exercise. Enjoy !

I agree, It's really soothing, but I have to do it later, as in my town, everyone's out ti'll 12:00, and there are plenty of cars comin' and goin'. So the best is on a Sunday night, where all is nice and peaceful. Very soothing, silent, and refreshing.

i once went on a latenite walk out in the derbyshire hills, it was pretty soothing untill my tourch died, at there was hardly any light, took me a while to get home

The only problem is mosquito bites. Besides that, I love late night walks and hanging out. Park walks are the best.

 

[Audiophage]

I'd do that, but the homeless people around here think they own the sidewalk in the dark.

Its great, but being youngish, I can't even count the times I've been hasseled by cops when out late. Its getting better, but still happens. And +1 on unsafe at times.

I only do it when I'm with a friend. I'll be honest, walking through the park when it's pitch black out scares the **** out of me.

yeah thats a hassle here too

in a tiny town where there is like ZERO crime especially burglaries and where everyone knows everyone, i still get stopped and asked my name and address, why im out at this time and where im going

im pretty distinctive too so its not like they dont recognise me

really annoys them when i say i have no idea why im walking about and i dont know where im going

but hey thats tough chips since ive the only crimes ive ever committed are minor driving offences

grrrrrr

cheers

Night walking is cool, especially when the snow is flying and everything is really, really quiet.

We agree, Major!

Just kidding... we went on a night hike when we were hiking in Arkansas. The incredible number of lightning bugs out in the woods was awesome. Never seen that many at once.

You should try mtn biking at night. Very surreal. Lots of snakes too.

One of the best nights I have had in a long time was back in November after my brithday... I was in San Francisco after work, picking up some stuff, and going to GC on California and Van Ness.

I went to a smoke shop, and got a nice cigar... Macanudo... anyway...

I rode the California Street cable car from the shop to the top of knob hill, then walked down Knob Hill to Downtown, and then around the Embarcadero to Cal Train smoking my cigar.. It was a nice walk.. very peacefull about 8 PM.. coolish, but not cold... took about 45 minutes or so. Maybe longer.

Took the train home, and got one of the best night's sleeps I've gotten in a long time.

Night walsk are cool

used to walk a lot after work (11pm) but then I kept walking into job crap. for instance, I arrested a guy for trying to sell me cocaine while I was on a walk. Bunch of kids were tying to f' w/ me, flipping me off and cursing and stuff, so they ended up stopping and they where drinking so I had to pop him w/ DUI and under age drinkin. Then I was walking uptown one night and in a parking lot these kids were fighting. One kid gets into his car and trys to run the other one over.

So now I run to the high school track then back home.

Ok then Flanders.

 

[jokerjkny]

wow,

funny, this came up cause, i've been working pretty late downtown, and instead of taking the train, i'll usually walk from canal up to 14th st., and its actually quite nice.

I went walking last night and it wasent as enjoyable as Sunday night , too many cars and people out.

i dont mind the people so much, cause people watching is always fun, but yea, the cars crazy annoying. especially the trucks! holy crap, like the boulder in indiana jones bearing down on you.

Night walks are pretty cool. Although with my schedule lately, I haven't done much of it.

 

[Aaron Saunders]

I used to do that a lot, especially in the summer -- leaving at 12am, coming back at 6, stuff like that. It's really nice here because I live rurally, so the safety issue really isn't an issue. Soon I'll be moving to the city, so I don't think I'll be indulging too much in those walks now...

I really dont like the big bright lights comming at me on narrow residential streets.
