To go walking in the outback would be am extremely foolish undertaking, with or without water and provisions. Even those travelling by car in the Aussie outback are told to take lots of water with them...and if their vehicle does break down to stay with the vehicle until help arrives...not go walking to try to find help. A body of a woman who didn't stick to those important, sensible rules was found during this past week...having broken down in the middle of nowhere...in horrendous heat conditions. <br /><br />Hikers/walkers get lost everywhere when they go off the beaten tracks..in regional and city areas. Only a few days ago someone got lost walking one of the many walking trails on and around this particular area where I live (fortunately he was found safe and sound). Hee wasn't the first to get lost; he won't be the last. <br /><br />Great old movie "Walkabout".Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835982875620956300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-50130264143653115342019-12-07T19:53:58.409+00:002019-12-07T19:53:58.409+00:00Biped?

For me all that danger/safety concern detracts from the pure enjoyment of walking. In the grand scheme of things going for a walk in the countryside is hardly the most risky of activities.

It was a good way to see so many places I would probably never have found, or visited on my own. Good to have company, and know that someone knew where we were going! We took water of course, and mine was a large bottle because I always took one of the dogs with me. We all stopped for a mid morning banana break.<br />On the insistence of most of my friends, I do have a mobile phone, and admit that it's a sensible precaution as I advance in years. However, I usually forget to carry it with me, even when I walk the dog locally. In fact I'm not quite sure where the phone is, probably in the car, I think I left it in there last weekend.....<br />Coppa's girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16459503600694841117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-59548185657889399882019-12-07T17:04:52.417+00:002019-12-07T17:04:52.417+00:00You live on a tightrope of danger xYou live on a tightrope of danger xJohn Going Gentlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14958171262765033946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-45507714116874828452019-12-07T15:49:28.686+00:002019-12-07T15:49:28.686+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.The Cheathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17878573971727824942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-20957594514638643652019-12-07T15:24:08.329+00:002019-12-07T15:24:08.329+00:00Oh, then I'm not like Alan.
