ps: all in all it's just another point in the fact that modern life is really mediocre
Every so often I do hit a wonky patch that I'm surprised didn't cause an injury or sprain but so far so good. That's mostly on me for combining the enjoyment of uneven terrain with an enjoyment of nighttime walks haha, but does happen during the day too now and then.
Good to hear it might be a little bit beneficial too! Yay for eccentric walking!
A little bit deadly if it's been raining but if it's dry out it's a heck of a workout going directly up/down the pictured desire path rather than following the proper path round and up. Usually I'll go up the steep and down the regular path rather than risk breaking my neck in public, that would be embarrassing.
Loads of steep but this-side-of-possible hills around the local castle ruins - built on a hill as pictured, plus where the former moat was, and plenty of hills and valleys around the immediate area :D
I'll have to mix up the path I take around that bit to keep my brain awake and aware! Good shout!
I usually follow tractor tyre lines as it was until recently working farmland (I'd never want to damage the crops!) but it's just regular grass this year so I can walk wherever freely - I think the farmer sold the land so the council can run a road through the middle of it.. trying to get the most out of it before it's paved over and I need to find a new regular trek haha
