Lesson 1 of 12

STOP and the first minutes

35 min

The path was clear an hour ago. Now it is a thin line through bracken, then not a line at all. The light has gone grey, the wind has picked up, and the wall you were sure would appear on your left has not appeared. Your heart is going faster than the walking explains. You speed up, because surely the wall is just over the next rise.
