Almost a Step to Far. by ladymagpie

Almost a Step to Far.

I get myself in places when geocaching that at my age I shoudn't go. This is a fine example when I had to cross the river to a little island to find the object.

Simple you might think, but each step was not fixed and wobbled, two where just old slippery logs and the steps on and off the bank was a slippery mud patch. I made it there and back with nobody else around - my family would kill me if they knew what I was up to.

I think it would have been safer rolling my trousers up and removing my socks and shoes for a paddle.

No, nope, no and NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

You shot has captured how wobbly those 'stepping stones' look! You are very brave:0)

@claireuk @philcameron59 @snowy @virtualbrownie @congaree Thank you all for your encouragement, I was nearly wetting myself with every step I took. Ecstatic to get across, then realised I had to come back.

Hip waders may have been called for. Lovely shot. We won't tell your family.

A lovely capture - love the shine on the water! I wouldn't have been able to do it - I feel wobbly just sitting on the couch, looking at the capture!

Great capture, and the water looks so inviting to dip your toes
