Hi I am in my 40's and have found myself unfit and unhealthy, time to sort it out! We all know what we should and shouldn't eat but I struggle with motivation and support. I don't want to join an online support group as sitting in front of the laptop trying to maintain motivation doesn't seem to work. Is there anyone in the area who would like to get motivated and excersise without having to find the cash for personal training . Let me know if you're interested.

There is loads of free fitness activities on the what's on in East Dulwich.


You don't need someone else to get you out of the house, JFDI. If you rely on other people if they lose motivation then so will you.


We are blessed with nice parks round here. Walk, Jog, Cycle get your heart pumping. You only need to make the change for a couple of weeks then you'll see the benefits.

Hello Hilili - as paragon says - look in the What's On Section of the forum...


In particular, look for the FREE! Fitness in the Park Saturdays thread. We meet at 10am on Saturdays at the cafe in Peckham Rye, it's a real mix of ages and abilities, we do a circuit of the park but with lots of stopping for different things - it's not non-stop running. It's really good fun and very encouraging. Then we all have a coffee afterwards.


And it's completely free - come along!

      Free swift nest box & installation in SE22

      Yes, I live Colyton/Dovedale area and lots of swifts usually.  I'd love a swift nesting box too.

      Free swift nest box & installation in SE22

      By fishboy · Posted

      There's always a large flock(?) over the area of back gardens surrounded by Colyton / Dovedale / Marmora / Scutari, but no idea if / where there are any nesting boxes. We'd love to have one, and often have swifts zooming close by, checking out possible sites.

      I would have thought the cost of erecting X meters of metal barriers would be the same irrespective of location, plus given the issues with access now due to the "bunds", it would also be easier given the ample direct access the common provides? The reason I've heard from the organisers is that their footprint has been tailor made for that part of the park, so it's not possible to fit it anywhere else. Which is a ridiculous argument given that  they've already altered / extended it due to the space they've 'lost' from the "bunds". The reason I've heard from FOPR and others is that as the common is public land (or similar) it requires permission from the Home Secretary (or similar) due to ancient grazing rights or something. Oddly it doesn't seem to have affected the circus, the steam fair, the dog show etc etc etc Yes, the wide path where Parkrun starts & finishes will become a controlled crossing during the build, and completely closed off during the festival. Also, when I asked about the reason for the extended footprint onto the sports pitch, they said it was to replace lost space where the bunds are, which they used to store equipment. However, they were unable to explain where this storage area now was on the new plan... And when asked about the loss of the sports pitch due to the extension & access road, they said the council had assured them there were no matches booked for that period. But what about the kids, families, who play on them? No answer...

      I think one of the organiser's marketing lines for the event describes the festival as 'nestled' in the park- clearly having the trees and park as a backdrop is viewed as a major selling point.
