A Walk in the Countryside
Nice weather today, so nice - I decided to go to the countryside for a long walk with my daughter. Sadly publications such as this:
inspire thousands of monied twelve year olds to converge in the same part.
What impresses me about them is their need to get out their hiking clobber that they have bought from shops such this
It provides them with that opportunity to pose with their hiking boots, designer rucksacks, shorts, hiking sticks, Ordnance Survey Maps in one of those plastic wallets that come complete with a compass. You'd think that they are hiking across The Swiss Alps rather than the Kent countryside. All you need is a decent pair of shoes or trainers. For these shallow individuals, however, they have to look the blasted part of a serious hiker or rambler.
Then you get these bozos with their four wheel drive vehicles with tracker bikes attached to the back. It's almost like a Nazi invasion of the countryside. I love walking in the countryside, I have been doing it for years, - but thanks to Time Out and trendy outdoor shops, it is becoming increasingly spoilt. It seems that walks in the countryside with all the trendy clobber is de-rigeur for these extremely irritating individuals who feel this need to show off their spoils on a footpath as if it were a catwalk in Paris.
