Group walks near you: find people to walk with
A walk is the friendliest way to meet people, and it's because of the shape of it: you're side by side rather than face to face, there's something to look at, and nobody has to hold eye contact for two hours.
It also has a natural end. When the walk finishes, the thing finishes, and anyone who wants to go to the pub afterwards can.
The only hard part is that walks need a route, a Sunday and a few people, and someone has to be the one to say it.
Somebody suggests it. Neya does the rest.

What Neya does for walking
- Finds people nearby who'd walk at roughly your pace
- Picks the Sunday, and a meeting point people can find
- Says how long it is, so nobody arrives in the wrong shoes
- Keeps it going week after week without one person carrying it

Any questions?
- How far do people usually walk?
- Most group walks are an hour or two at talking pace, and the plan says so up front. Faster and longer walks exist too, and they say that up front as well.
- Can I bring my dog?
- Usually, and some groups are built around it. Ask in the chat — it's the sort of thing people are pleased to be asked rather than surprised by.
- What if the weather is terrible?
- Someone in the group will say so, and Neya will make sure everyone sees it rather than letting half the group set off. Plenty of walks move to a cafe instead.
