scoobz Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 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.
