Will I? Won’t I?

I didn’t.

After a long punishing hike up a steep forest path to visit a secluded church my knees and back were starting to protest.
I got to this stile on the way back and just stood there for ages looking at it. I ask you, is this a stile or an obstacle course?
I chickened out and walked back to the village along country lanes instead. Less interesting but much easier on the joints.

What a lovely set of old stone steps. I'm with you! When the back and knees give out, it's time to take it easy. =)

Frustrating but a good decision. And photo!

Beautiful capture of this scene. Probably a safer decision to protect your body. A fav.

Some of those steps look a wee bit wobbly.......eek!

[Diana]

Fabulous capture and textures, a bit bothersome to get over it ;-)

I would have chickened out too. it does look rather rickety

Nice find. Sometimes our bodies have more common sense than our heads.

Great image and decision

What a lovely stile. Makes me want to climb up there and see what's on the other side

[Michelle]

Wise choice not to attempt the climb over!

[Boxplayer]

Blimey, yes I'd have followed you

[Lesley]

Oh boy, I don’t blame you!
