Walking in Reverse

We are already checking out walks for next May's Walking Festival in Ballater. We are leading two walks and I will be helping with a further two. We have been asked to do a popular walk in reverse. Sounds simple, but it feels and looks very different when you do it the other way round. This was taken at the start of our 'recce', through lovely woodland close to the river. It then leads up and over Heartbreak Ridge. I have no idea why they call it that, but it's a lovely walk.

Welcome to December, folks. I'd better get organised soon or Christmas will be upon me!

Oh love that wintry scene

[Diana]

Although it is a wonderful capture and scene, I suppose I will be indoors in this weather as I am not used to it at all. It sounds like fun what you are doing atm Issi:-)

[Brian]

Enjoy

[Casablanca]

Sounds fabulous. Walks in reverse can feel very odd indeed

[Valerie Chesney]

I don't know if I could walk backwards.
you do have some challenges & you meet them straight on!
Fabulous image. Fav

Great shot

[John]

That is quite difficult and disorienting, but I suppose people can master that art, too, and see things when walking, in a different way.

[Dianne]

It is so different to walk the opposite direction to usual and surprisingly different.

[Babs]

Wow it looks bleak. I think I will stick to walking in 28-degree heat which is what we had yesterday.

[Milanie]

Hadn't thought about how that be different - butyes, I guess it sure would. Love to walk in snowy terrain like this

[Beverley]

So beautiful! Soooo much fun for you both.

[Pat Knowles]

As Harry would say ‘just a touch of snow!’ I expect you are very happy to plan & test out the walks……John is all togged up but no hat or gloves! Tough chap!

[haskar]

Beautiful snowy scene and lovely shot.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Yes- it's really different to do something in a different order when you've done it another way many times over. Beautiful shot!

[Kathy]

The bit of snow gives the area such a different look.

[Kathy A]

I also think that doing things in reverse wouldn't be easy, the world looks very different from another angle

[Corinne C]

Such a beautiful capture of the woodland in winter. Your program of reverse walks sounds fun!

[Dorothy]

Love a snow scene! Come May it will certainly look different.

[Rick]

Lovely winter scene.

I enjoy a walk in reverse-all different. This is a beautiful shot
