Ah so I went for a walk around the park near my house, and I bumped into a guy who used to bock himself. I walked past him as he played football with, I assume, his son and then we had a nice chat - especially about the strange looks we get! He used to own a pair of 7 leagues, and I even showed off my new tyre armour.
Weather today's lovely and I've been out for 2 sessions so far, getting a bit more confident at walking each time (it's very windy!). Though I must say that I prefer to walk on the grass, since it's nice and soft.
It was a nice surprise to meet a fellow (ex)bocker, since I don't know of any other bockers around my area (Slough).
