Like MrsDusty I like to walk alone so go at 6am so I don't have to take kids. Been going at this time for years and the only person usually out at the same time is a nice lady with 3 lurchers so we tend to often have a chat and a bit of a walk around but nothing is planned so if I fancy walking alone I can.

In the winter it is dark at 6 am so lucky my dog is so big don't think anyone would consider tackling him (although if the attacker had a dog he would be too busy playing with it to bother with me!)
