Whichever you choose, provided you take the necessary equipment, your walk will not only be much safer but also more enjoyable. This does not mean taking everything, including the kitchen sink! If you are a keen photographer a camera with spare films or memory card is essential. Binoculars are mandatory for birdwatchers. The artist needs his sketchbook and pencil.

Today, people do still walk, but often on a moving conveyor belt at the gym, rather in a real environment. This takes people away from nature and a sense of being part of something larger than themselves.
When I say walking is fading, I don’t necessary mean no one ever walks. But what I mean by that is there won’t be as many pedestrians coming out to public space and treat walking as a pleasure.
