“Walking with a companion is very different from walking solo. Even when apart and silent, there is always an awereness of company. Alone, decisions can be made on impulse. I sometimes find myself stopping and sitting down without consciously deciding to do so. I may find a lovely irresistible campsite after a few hours, I may walk well into the night, but with no one to consult, no-one else's needs, desires, or tiredness need to be taken into account. There is also, I find, much more importantly, a closer connection to the land and to nature when there's no-one else to respond to, and it's that connection that lies at the heart of long-distance walking for me.”

“I wasn’t lost, because I didn’t allow myself to think I was. Being lost is a state of mind.”

“Compared with walking on trails, cross-country travel is real exploration, both of the world around and of yourself. To appreciate it fully you need to be open to whatever may happen. Distances and time matter far less once you’ve shrugged off the trail network. What matters is being there.”
