So there you have it. My first year as a "walker".
I'm clueless about navigating - I need to practice much more.
I need to walk much more as well.
My main concern is, not walking alone as such (although I do sometimes feel a bit silly) but, getting lost. Sometimes it's not as easy as simply retracing your steps.
I think I've discovered a wonderful pastime that is occupying much of my thoughts and "takes me out of myself", if that makes sense. For those few hours out in the fresh air, nothing else matters.
