Sometimes, people say things like “how do you go for a walk in the country if you don’t own a car?” The answer of course, is by getting on a train or a bus – they go to all sorts of places, it’s often just a question of being bothered to find out where. And one joy of walking without a car is that you don’t have to go round in a circle, starting from a car park and then walking back to it. On longer walks a long way from home, like the Yorkshire Wolds Way, you put your stuff in a rucksack and stay overnight in bed and breakfasts. Easy.
Not owning a car is a great way to stay fit, save money, and avoid loads of hassle. This is a blog with thoughts, photos, ideas and links about carfree life: walking, active travel, public transport, places and spaces - things that matter to everyone, but even more when you don’t own a car. Photos are by me unless credited. Forthcoming: book on carfree life. Meantime, get in touch via email at carfreelifeoutsidethebox@gmail.com or Twitter @carfreebrighton
