Ingleborough
Yesterday as I was sick of tension and arguing from the previous day out I decided to go a walk on my own. Ive driven past this viaduct all my life and never stopped to walk up the foot path next to it to gain a different perspective. For instance I hadnt noticed it was built on a curve. I always though it looked straight. Its an extremely popular foot path at a weekend so it was nice to go on a week day when it was quiet. The strange thing about the railways around here was that it wasnt long after there completion that the motor car was invented. Quite sad considering the many workers or " navies " that died building them. Many were paid in beer which I doubt helped health and safety...lol
I have a few days on my own now and Im keen to look at other local attraction that I just havent seen much, the Yorkshire dales being one. Its funny how something local is overlooked just because its near. I feel a strong pull to do this. If you are on your own you have time to look at things at your leisure and examine things more closely. I feel ive spent a lot of time on my own these last few months wandering feeling uneasy or worse. There is more pleasure in it now once the anxiety wears off, and it does through exercise. Its the exercise of work im missing to burn it off. I can see why people who dont have physical jobs hike ect now. To be honest if im walking its a sign I'm in a tribulation. I am not a natural walker at all.
I took a long walk yesterday and overestimated the effect of the sun. You see, the sunny weather came abruptly again, so I took an almost two hour walk, not realising how HOT it actually got. I spent the rest of the day and night lying down, drinking water, and feeling like I was going to pass out. I also got a bit of a sunburn, even though I was wearing sunscreen. I will not do that again. I'm not a natural walker either, I suppose, but it's a good way to escape things as noted.
ReplyDeleteI am not sure what is happening, but this week is very turbulent and peoples are acting strangely.
If its not a round walk you have to factor walking back again...lol Sound silly but it is true.
DeleteVery striking scenery btw. I enjoy these photos.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I guess living here I take it for granted.
