A little thank you 💚

Thank you SO much to everyone who has walked with me over the last few weeks — for your lovely messages, for turning up, for the chats, the laughs, and for making Walking With Sue what it is.

I started this because I know how much being outside with good company helps our heads and hearts, and every single one of you brings something special.

I feel really grateful. So thank you for being part of it.

Lots of love,
Sue x

Good to know ❤️

Wow this is amazing, so many messages!! 😍

I hadn’t realised so many people would want to walk!! Totally honoured.❤️🥰

Being brutally honest though — I’ve had so many messages in the last 24 hours I need to have a re-think as I definitely can’t take out over 50 plus people! It would not be safe and my insurance would have a meltdown — well I would not be insured!😂

I can however set up a limited group with a maximum of 20 people and will send the link.

I’m working on a plan to try and get you all out together 🤣 but I’m sorry, for now it will have to be the first 20 people to book — still free — I’m just so grateful for your interest and messages!

Thank you 🤩

MONDAY WALKING WITH SUE — FREE 💚

I’ve decided something...

Mondays will be free. For community.

Because life is expensive right now and everyone deserves to get out, get moving, and feel better.

No fee. Just turn up.

TALKING. WALKING. TOGETHER.

It’s uplifting. It’s fun 🤩 and honestly, it’s magic:

People — together, no pressure
Chatting— the kind that makes you laugh and feel lighter
*Getting outside— green space, fresh air, head-clearing views
Moving— gentle, steady, good for body and back
Safe— I plan the route, I’ve got the first aid, lowland leader training, so you just walk

Whether it’s Sutton Park or Newhall Valley, it’s not about how far or how fast. It’s about showing up, walking side-by-side, and going home feeling better than when you came.

Everyone welcome. Come on your own — you’ll leave with walking buddies.

FREE MONDAY EVENING WALKS WITH SUE
Comment *MONDAY* or DM me and I’ll send you the meet point for this week.

Let’s walk it out together.

Today’s has got me thinking so grateful ☺️

Best places with the best views — from my home turf in Sutton Park and Newhall Valley, to further afield where my heart really sings.

The rolling hills of the *Peak District — Chatsworth, Bakewell, Hartington, Tissington Trail*, the ridge and beauty of the *Malverns*, the honey-stone villages of the *Cotswolds — Chipping Campden, Broadway*, and a stop for cake at *Blackbrook Barns*. Every single place stops me in my tracks.

For my health, especially my back — walking is my medicine. Moving every day keeps me strong, keeps me mobile, and all that green space and fresh air clears my head like nothing else. It’s my feel-good.

But the best bit? The people. The lovely moments walking with friends old and new, the chats that turn into proper belly laughs, meeting someone for the first time and leaving as walking buddies. Community is everything.

*And I have to say the biggest thank you ❤️*

To my family, my friends, and all the new friends who became friends on the path — thank you for the walking support. For the many days and many miles. For showing up in the rain ☔️, for putting your boots on when it would have been easier not to. You showed up, you kept going, and you believed in me even on the soggy days. I will never forget that.

That training that pushed me way beyond my comfort zone — lowland leader, first aid, BMC — has now given me the opportunity to take you with me on these bigger adventures. To find the pretty places, plan the route so you just have to turn up, and keep you safe while you enjoy it.

I’m so grateful for every step we’ve shared.

And... new adventure coming very soon
Hopefully with coffee, maybe cake or even w**e 😂😂
Whatever you reward yourself with other than the views 🥰Watch this space 🌳💚

DM me "ADVENTURE" to be first to hear.

Some days you just NEED to walk 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️
Grateful for the moments, the views, the reset, and for quieting my mind with my hubby ❤️

No coffee this time... BUT we found an amazing cafe for next time 😜
Great pub walk ✔️ Lovely w**e and rewards ✔️
Best view 😂🥰 Seriously underrated!!
And grateful it was sunny not windy or rainy 😜

Baslow • Curbar edge
Yes to highland cows 🐮
Yes to scary heights 😂
Dramatic stones. Peaks. Beautiful.
Grateful ❤️🏞️

lessons from yesterday:

1. *You can’t always find the perfect walk WITH the perfect coffee stop* ☕😉
Sometimes you just have to take the magic where you find it. It takes time, research, patience... and a LOT of coffee 😂

2. On my evening walk I had the loveliest surprise😌
Just one amazing lady said "yes" even though it was only me, not a big group.
We had the best adventure through the trees, lots of talking... and zero judgment about how much I talk 😂

Building something from nothing takes time and patience.
But moments like that? Totally worth it ❤️

Who’s up for a walk with me next? ☕👇

Me: Decided to choose good quality trainers for the walk...

But real talk — *BOOTS 🥾 or TRAIL RUNNERS 👟... or are you a chaotic FLIP FLOPS 🩴 person??*

I’m team trail shoe all the way. Lighter, comfier, and my feet don’t feel like bricks after 10 miles.

Team Boots: ankle support + sturdy + warm
Team Trail:light + quick drying + comfy
Team Flip Flops:. X free spirit? 😂 Respect.

So what’s YOUR pick and why?
Leather or GORE-TEX?
Favourite brand?
And let’s settle this... waterproof socks: yes or hell no? 😂

Rule is simple: *Comfy. Sturdy. Good grip.*..Unless you’re Team Flip Flop.
(Crazy!! No offence intended ☺️)

Drop your choice below 👇 I’m taking notes for my next pair!

The beauty of starting small ☺️💚

Tell me someone who doesn’t love a view 🥰🏞️.

This along with being outdoors on my own walk 😉 in the middle of nowhere with no one around 😳🤣for miles is my inspiration.

But I also understand time is precious. Life has constraints.

That’s why Newhall is perfect.( my training for hiking 🤣)
Convenient. Accessible. Safe for group walks even as evenings get darker.

These mini walks together are for company, for connection, for exercise.
Baby hikes to build our stamina and confidence.

Note: no coffee stop on this one, 🤔but that’s okay — evenings are for unwinding and relaxing to finish the day. Maybe a glass of w**e!_ 🍷

Coffee walk in Thorpe is coming soon!! I promise_ 🥰

And who knows... that might lead us to the Peaks 🤞🤞the Cotswolds, or Gower one day!
For now though, let’s enjoy what’s on our doorstep together.

I look forward to inviting you along to some lovely longer coffee/ pub walks* ❤️

Come walk with me Monday 17th
