I'm never out past about 4.30 coz I get home to do my little boys dinner for 5ish.

My local area isn't bad. Sadly I know most of the nutters round here so I'm pretty safe. X

Don't worry about it. Only difference dark nights make to me is that I change my running routes and am a little more vulnerable on a bike, by safety I assume you mean crime and it doesn't worry me at all.

I feel safe enough, live in a small village and only once had a problem at the local park but if I am out and about after dark I am not on my own normally.

I do not enjoy the dark nights, the sounds seems to bounce around a lot more, so sometimes make it hard to know where things are coming from. Not a fan of hi vis wear as I think it makes me a target. So if I can avoid it I do not go out

Very true. The attacks I have experienced, many years ago now, were on the way to work at 8am on a sunny day and at work at 8.30am when the cleaner attacked me.

Newly single, so can't say I am looking forward to dark nights. I'm sure this area is reasonably safe though and they have just changed our street lighting, can't sleep now cause its so bright but better light to my front door.

Not brilliantly safe but safe enough. I will have to get used to it now while walking puppy at night he's no good as a guard dog he just wants to lick you and nip occasionally. But I normally. Get taxi back from station and don't wait around for one. It's not that rough but can sometimes feel a little,etc intimidating

There are parts of London I don't feel safe in at noon midsummer's day! I chose this area as the girls were 11 and 15 when I moved here 10 years ago: nothing has changed I feel safe even though my journey takes me through/past three council estates.

An ex-brother-in-law of mine told a story from when he was walking home from work late one night through a council estate... 'I realised there was a group of teenage lads following me. I'm so glad I kept up with my karate'

So what did you do? Lay them all out?

'No... being a black belt in karate and keeping up with my training meant... I was fit enough to run much faster than they could!'
