I went for a long walk today. I didn't intend for it to be a long walk but I got stuck on a path and had to keep on going until I reached a sign post! In all I was out walking for two and a half hours. I was completely alone for most of the journey - not a soul to be seen and hardly any wildlife too. When the occasional dog walker passed by I breathed a sigh of relief. Being alone isn't a problem, it is the thought of being mugged or attacked that is. Part of the walk took me deep into woodland and I'll admit that I muttered a few prayers under my breath as I trudged on not knowing what I was walking towards. I was unsure what path to take once the path widened and branched off into different directions. Luckily I got my bearings and chose the right path.
When I eventually arrived home I was relieved to be unscathed by my journey in the wilderness!
Looks very pretty Simone but I can imagine how scary it would have been on your own!
ReplyDeleteIt was Vivienne. I walked for miles!!! :)
DeleteBest take a map with you next time.
ReplyDeleteYes.
DeleteOh Simone, I know that feeling of walking alone and not quite knowing where you are, it is very unsettling even the most mild and gentle places seem to take on a weirdness. I'm glad you found the right way home:)
ReplyDeleteI knew I would find my way eventually but there wasn't an opportunity to leave the path until I had walked a mile! :)
DeleteI would not feel safe on my own out walkng as I am terrified of dogs off the lead. (I was attacked when I was 6 by two very large out of control Alsatians and the scars remain). On the other hand I do like getting lost as you come across the most interesting places.
ReplyDeleteThat must have been a horrible experience for you. I would like to have had a bit of an explore around the place but didn't have the courage to do so! :)
DeleteGoodness me, sometimes being alone is just what we need, other times more human sightings would be most gratefully received!
