make that 5 ...
i badly twisted my ankle once on the pennine way,
it swelled up and hurt so much i thought id broken it,
one moments lack of concentration and i went tumbling down steps
very scary, i was shaken, and i was in shock,
as i sat there i was panicking a bit,
i took some pain killers, and hobbled as best as i could to the A635
this was a route familiar to me, on the way back down from black hill,
I had no one to call to pick me up, and theres no bus service, so i was wondering how the hell i was going to get back,
i had to ask someone for a lift, luckily a forestry commission land rover was parked so he kindly gave me and my dog, a lift to a bus stop
this was a big lesson for me on how easily you can become injured, and how vulnerable you can feel when alone,
I hope you can begin to enjoy your walking again lostme1
take care and best wishes,
beefy ...
