Saying Hello To Complete Strangers.

Every week on our Group Walks we all say hi, hello or something similiar to people we come across, and almost without exception we get a greeting back. Often the people we pass speak first too, and this friendliness gives you a feeling of having a common bond. This is especially so on our Sheffield walks, but occasionally in parts of the Peak District I have experienced some people almost looking down their noses at us. I think this is a class thing, but I might be wrong.

Now while I was in Cornwall last summer it was a completely different matter. People avoided eye contact, and often looked amazed when we said hello if we did catch their eye. I don't think they were unfriendly, just not used to our over-friendliness if anything.
