A new way of walking
After millions of years, someone has come up with a new way of walking.
When I heard this suggested new way of walking, I have to say I was sceptical. But I gave it a go yesterday and to my surprise found it worked. It's a new way of walking up hill. Fell walkers will know that the hills are lovely but it can be a struggle on the 'up bits'. So try walking backwards uphill! I was amazed at how less strenuous it was - it was rather like watching a film being rewound. Of course you need a clearly marked path and no sharp drops for miles around but give it a go. This 'craze' apparently comes from San Francisco where people are now walking backwards up the steep streets of that city. My colleague suggests a rear view mirror must now be the essential gadget to take on walks!

Although it would be quite comical in San Francisco, its not really a good idea in the fells.
If walking uphill 'frontways' is too strenuous, I would strongly advise people to stay at the bottom!View all 3 comments on this article
