Coombes wood – from Wokingham end go down Barkham Road, then up Bearwood Road and take the second turning on the left into Coombes Lane. Park anywhere down the lane. The wood stretches between there, Arborfield, the Barkham Road and Mole Road in Sindlesham.

Comment on Getting Started in Fitness by Laura Granby

Even though I am quite fit and enjoy my chosen activities, there are still times when I become lazy and don’t keep up a very regular practice . I even seem to forget how much I ENJOY Tai Chi – apart from all its benefits. I guess some people respond well to regimes whilst others feel oppressed by it. Perhaps FFM could do an article on the psychological profiling of fitness activities!

Comment on Toby’s 10 reasons he loves Dinton Pastures by Laura

Thanks for the interesting write up Toby. We really enjoyed being shown around Dinton Park. It’s a lovely place for all the family to enjoy, and seeing what you like doing gives us some inspiration as to what to encourage our own children to do at similar places.

It’s no surprise that you especially like getting muddy! It seems to be a favourite pass time of many active children!! =-)

I agree Clare is an inspiration, she got me running and a mararthon which i never thought i would achieve. We spent many happy hours running up and tracks for the training. Now i never go on holiday without packing my running shoes, all thanks to Clare.
Everybody can run and once you start you probably won’t stop! enjoy

I have recently had a baby and have been trying to lose weight but no joy, then I read this and I’m going to give it a try – my goal is to run a 5K and to lose 2 stone. Wish me luck!

Thank you for your kind reply Nicola, I think I might give it a go. I saw you can hire bikes at the Look out on here too so will try that first and see how I go

Hi Jules,

I wrote this article so I hope my comments will be useful. I’d say that anyone can have a go at ‘gentle’ mountain biking, just as long as they are confident enough to ride a bike on a surface other than tarmac. Find some flattish terrain (”firetracks” are great) and make sure your biking buddy/buddies know not to put any pressure on you, and just see what you can do. Even if you start with as little as 20 minutes or so and build from there, that’s great going. If you can get to The Look Out there are some gentle, wide trails around the car park and cafe area.
