The art of walking is a lifelong journey within the moment. By walking we create the path. In so doing we break new ground whether over new terrain or familiar ways. Despite, or maybe because of the planning, a good walk can root us in the now as we travel over these ancient seabeds, scrambling among the cradles of ancient glaciers. No pair of ancient claws, no sense of J. Alfred Prufrock here among the peaks and dales. And what could be more welcome than a meal at journey’s end, counting the blessings of a day in the rare air. Indeed a good walk can do many things but mainly it’s about getting from A to B in one piece and perhaps with a fresh perspective.
