Excerpt from Afoot and Lighthearted: The Record of a Few Walking Experiences It was at the close of a May day in 1914 that I met a boy trudging along a country road in Devonshire. How far is it to Teignmouth I asked. Seven mile, came his reply, with the air of one who knew. And then, realizing that I was planning to cover the distance on foot, he added: You can't walk all that w'y. Oh yes, I can, I said, and I have already gone seven teen miles. He looked at me incredulously and in silence until he had stepped into his familiar lane within easy reach of home. You lie he shouted; you couldn't walk all that w y in one d'yl The pedestrian soon finds that not every one shares with him his enthusiasm for the noble pastime of walking. Difficulties are magnified and the rewards are only dimly understood. Well, well Are you working off a bet? Asked a friend when I told him I was starting for a three weeks' walking trip. The only time 'i walk, drawled out a certain dull young fellow whom I met after an invigorating all - day's tramp, is when I have no money to pay my fare.
