Oh dear.. you're a wheezing Anne type, eh? Not to worry, lovely. I think I might be a bit of a George,* which means were I there, I probably would have convinced you to take the long walk anyway, gotten us both completely lost, and forced us into careers as highway(wo)men until we could find our way home. And two sticks for walking, that is serious business! I hope this local's head was tossed back in dizzied enthusiasm for walking. It still sounds like you had a lovely time though, regardless of Mr. Poo-poo sneering at your shoes. Had I been there, perhaps I would've been able to wave my blue thongs in his face and cry 'Serious?! These shoes have seen tropical rainforests, son

Excellent tale of misadventure, purpleorb! I would have loved to have you there, shaking your thong. Although you'd have to call it a flip flop, otherwise people would think you stuck plastic between your cheeks. And of course I remember the clog-like pixie shoes - those are not shoes to forget :)
Wow you guys are both so adventurous. Just the thought of walking to my letter box is a near impossible task for me, not without the aid of some good sturdy calipers, which don't bend at the knee (I actually owned a pair as a child but this forest did not run). The potential for getting lost is the whole idea of exploring your surroundings i feel, otherwise it's not really an adventure and you might as well stay at home and watch some nature program on the telly. As i am one to cart a large back pack of crap with me everywhere i go, had I been waiting for you guys once you have finished your walk, you would have been met with tissues for your sniffles, bandaids for your scraps, balm for those parched lips, tampons should you need them, and some chocolate Krista and i made to replenish your energy (yes krista, they're still in there). But no water, i had to decide between that and the lip balm and i'm satisfied with my decision.
Haha! I'm on your lip balm team Rach, you made the right choice. Remember how we used those tampons to try and start a campfire? So we'll have everything we could possibly need, essentially.
