Parkland Walk / Park safety

odd stewart

Ha. Wasn't even a euphemism. Or was it? I seldom find myself on the parkland walk these days being a fickle runner. It is a nice route to FP station from its various stops, even tho the highgate-Stapleton hall road bit is much nicer than the next bit. Seems like the dogs prefer shitting on the last leg.

I have to be in highate tonight, and was thinking taking the walk at about 6-6:30.<div><br></div><div>Will I get stabbed?</div>

I think stabbing is unlikely, but I have heard stories of bandits and highwaymen in the area......

<P>Oooh Highwaymen. Must go for a walk. (80s teenager, nuff said)</P>

<p>I wonder if they are dandy highwaymen?</p>

You're more likely to get flashed at or have kids throw stones at you from one of the bridges.<br>

<P>@miss annie  oh pleeeeeeeease let them be dandy, or at very least flash and grabbing my attention</P> <P> </P> <P> </P>

no you wont get stabbed and people dont get robbed so much anymore.its not really as hot as it was, there were a lot of feds in there a couple years back because people were running in there after commiting a crime so they could hide.they would also burn lot of stolen mopeds

There was an attempted strangling and, a day later, a murder on the Parkland Walk about 21 years ago.  It has kind of put me off walking on it alone.

<P>I knoew the woman who found the body, she was walking her dog at the time. Really hit her hard </P> <P> </P> <P>There were a spate of attacks up there, mainly homophobic ones as it was and probably still is a popular hang out for Gays looking for "companionship"</P>

Not exactly a safety thing, but the graffiti around (though, with a degree of respect I find delightful, never *on*) the Green Man has been excellent lately. Someone's done an absolutely gorgeous frog this week, even got the mottling on its underside right.<br>
