Personal safety

[Kay 3,709]

Bloody hell its us men that have to be afraid some of the nutty women i have bumped into wile walking my dogs alone i dont no wat their after one were chewing mi ears off for over an hour the other week. atb dell

 

You must have a kind face they feel your approachable , i had a bloke soak me through last friday on my way to work in a van , he did it deliberatly & i called him a wanker , then every day he pips at me now & sayes stuff out the window :laugh: but it sort of difused the situation

 

 

Some lads have some funny ways of chatting birds up eh!

 

i was savage i had to do my shift looking like i had been dragged through a hedge backwards , it was a massive puddle , even me hair was wet , i must admit once i had calmed down i did see the funny side of it :laugh:

well same here ll i would rather walk my dogs in the fields than in a town i find it much safer at all hours ive been out lamping on my own a few times ive never been afraid but walking in a town at night is a no no for me but fields country lanes and stuff id walk all day and night ive never come across anyone out my way the only fright ive had is a owl fly out in front of me that made me jump so feel free in the countryside mlb

Well I'm not going to stop walking in the woods...once i can get out again.This sprained ankle has put a stop to my gallop for the last couple of months.Of course I sprained it out the woods lol Lucy

i find it very sad that you cant go anywhere without feeling vunerable

 

modern society is very bad and is getting worse..........we should be able to walk anywhere without having to worry about safety.

 

and if you defend yourself, you are the one that is questioned first........really,really annoys me !!!!!!

 

keep safe

I got attacked in the woods were I worked once, by a buzzard!!!

I've never heard of it happening before, but I was cycling to work early one morning (about 6:00am in the summer) and as I rode under the canopy of tree's something twatted me SO hard from above, and it felt like it was ripping my scalp off. I screamed, cos at first I thought a tree was falling on me :wacko: then it did it again, and I saw it swoop up back into the tree's.... Left me bloodied and a sniveling wreck for an hour or so... but at least it was a wildlife attack and not a weirdo!!

 

But in all seriousness, when a high profile murder such as Linda Bryant in Ruan High Lanes happens on your doorstep, it does rattle you for a few years. She was walking her dog in broad daylight in the afternoon Still haven't got the person who did it

I agree with that,woman or man....

Have you not thought the nutters may think your the nutters being out in the woods at night?

[MrsChamp606 553]

I always walk the dogs on my own, any time day or night and like I always say to people who go on at me about it, I believe it to be much safer than having a night out in my local town - I would never walk alone around town like some of my girl mates do to me that is the real danger. Just my opinion though!

[rabitin girl 16]

Im out every day with the dogs , and love walking in really remote places where you never see anybody else .

 

I never twice about it cos ive always done

One of the most valuable lessons I learned growing up in the city is: confidence goes a long way in protecting yourself. If you scuttle along darting glances over your shoulder or staring at the ground, your body language says 'easy target here'. I walk with my head up, my shoulders back and a strong stride. If I pass somebody I make eye contact with them, sorta like saying 'I see you and you don't scare me'. That attitude kept me much safer when I was on the street for a while (I was briefly homeless as a teen), or when I was coming out of a club at 4am. So when I'm out walking the dogs I apply the same theory; radiate confidence and you're more likely to put a possible attacker off. And I never leave the house without my phone. Sometimes I find a good stick to walk with. I also think my dogs offer a bit of a deterrent, the lurcher is a fair size.

 

The only time I feel truly vunerable is when nature calls .... being caught with your pants down doesn't leave you much fighting room

my mum did some self defence classes when she started working in london back along, one of the first things they taught her was if you look like an easy target you are one!

On a serious note though no woman should be without her mobile phone or the attack alarms that can be purchased quite easily.My other half has one for work and the noise it makes is quite loud.atb dell

Yes i agree never go anywhere without my phone , mind you i could be laying on the grass with a busted leg & no bugger at home would pick the phone up here

I think a mobile phone gives you the confidence... as you feel you have help close to hand.
