Is anyone doing anything about this? It's 21st - 25th May.

Have a look here.

I always walk to school etc. anyway.

I'd love to do this - but it's 35 mins walk for me and 45 with children. With faffling at each end and twice a day that's 3 hours a day and 15 hours a week. I just can't spare that time/income. I could just donate 300GBP instead. Maybe not.

As soon as my children are old enough to walk alone they'll be doing it every day.

It's about 10miles, so It'll take about 2-3 hours if I walk, So NO WAY I'm going to do it. Also, the violin lesson and school orchestra would be about a 40min walk, so I wouldn't have time to get there.

My crazy parents wanted me to go to a 'good, small' school. Well, if my school is good, then what are 'bad' schools like...

Mine's 5 miles away I'd say, though my brother has walked it before. And I could never walk to my flute lesson, it takes around 1.5 hours by transport to get there!

But I do try and walk where I can, I wouldn't ask for a lift to the Co Op or something.

Mine's 5 miles away too, but I walk from where I get dropped off (just under a mile from school). So that's good.

I've walked it too

Mine's about 5 miles through the country with no pavements, so it's just not possible. I sometimes walk in to town, but that still takes ages. Really, the only place I can walk to is the tiny shop in our village and the bus stop, where I catch the bus to school.

I can't walk to the school I teach at - it's 25 miles away...........

I walk to lots of places.
For my piano lesson it's a 40 minute walk each way so if it's raining I drive or I would get VERY wet.

I walk wherever I can - most days I don't get into a car.

arg!! memories of old school days.....
I remember my sister and I used to cheat on walk to school weeks... , we used to be driven half way to the school with some friends and then walk a couple of roads. *lazy tikes we were*. To be fair, we did live quite a distance from the school. I suppose it was said that if you don't walk, you could take a friend in your car (something to do with less pollution).

I used to walk to school when I went to primary, because it's just at the other end of the village. Now I'm at high school I can't because it's about 5 miles away!!! I normally walk everywhere that's walkable anyway!!!

I have to walk everywhere anyway.

I live around a mile away, but I'm on study leave, so not in school anyway! Ihave 2 exams, but I'd rather go by car, really don't want to risk being late!

Would love to but:
1. It's 6 kilometres, a lot of it uphill .
2. It's often pouring with rain.
3. When it's not raining it's too hot to walk anywhere.
4. I can't carry three bags and two boxes of books and music.
5. It's highly dangerous as there are no pavements to walk on.

Can't actually walk anywhere - nearest shops 5 kilometres away unless you count the agricultural cooperative but they only sell maize.

I don't walk to work - it is 120km away - but I do use public transport to get there
I walk my daughters everywhere. In fact they are so used to walking within the town that a few years ago when I said their father had gone to get some petrol, one of them said "Oh the petrol station must be a long way off then, otherwise he would have walked there."
