 Bushwalking, or tramping as we called it in the Old Country, commenced in our family as soon we could walk. I suppose I was six when we attempted Snaafell (2000 feet high) in the Isle of Man.  In memory it is still the grandest mountain I have ever seen, and not even the dragon Mountain of Yunnan, ten times as high, were half so lonely and inaccessible. So too the primrose-bordered brooks of the Isle of Man will always be far more beautiful than the woods of Norway carpeted with lily-of-the-valley, or the sapphire lakes of Canada with their asters and columbines. Bushwalking, or tramping as we called it in the Old Country, commenced in our family as soon we could walk.

-Down through the years of childhood the tramps stand out as the highlights, and this, even though they were often only along the banks of the Marsey canal on Saturday afternoon where we watched the slow moving barges taking the cotton up to Manchester, or stood on the railway bridge waiting with bated breath and beating hearts until a train came underneath and gave us a "puff" When one of the senior girls at school announced her intention of getting a "puff", I agreed enthusiastically with the proposal connecting it at once with the Saturday afternoons by the canal, and not with the latest style of hair-dressing!+Down through the years of childhood the tramps stand out as the highlights, and this, even though they were often only along the banks of the Mersey canal on Saturday afternoon where we watched the slow moving barges taking the cotton up to Manchester, or stood on the railway bridge waiting with bated breath and beating hearts until a train came underneath and gave us a "puff" When one of the senior girls at school announced her intention of getting a "puff", I agreed enthusiastically with the proposal connecting it at once with the Saturday afternoons by the canal, and not with the latest style of hair-dressing!

-Then we came out to Australia where people lived on the tops of the mountains instead of in the valleys.  It was most exciting especially as no one seemed to have heard of tramping.  My father tramped Sydney vainly trying to buy a rucksuck, and when we went to the Blue Mountains every winter we were curiosities.  True, there was a list of "beauty spots" on a notice board near the station, a list which we had always dutifully ticked off before we returned home, but apparently no one else ever walked to beauty spots, anyhow, no one except an objectionable man called "Razbury", who had walked to them merely to defile them by painting his name on their rocks.  As for the various "original descents" we tried, no-one would have known what we were talking about.  One of these took us down to the "Forest of Arden" and back in one day.  When you remember that this is now called the Blue Gum Forest and that there was no track to it, but many river crossings, you will agree that it was not a bad effort for my younger brother who could not have been more than nine.+Then we came out to Australia where people lived on the tops of the mountains instead of in the valleys.  It was most exciting especially as no one seemed to have heard of tramping.  My father tramped Sydney vainly trying to buy a rucksack, and when we went to the Blue Mountains every winter we were curiosities.  True, there was a list of "beauty spots" on a notice board near the station, a list which we had always dutifully ticked off before we returned home, but apparently no one else ever walked to beauty spots, anyhow, no one except an objectionable man called "Razbury", who had walked to them merely to defile them by painting his name on their rocks.  As for the various "original descents" we tried, no-one would have known what we were talking about.  One of these took us down to the "Forest of Arden" and back in one day.  When you remember that this is now called the Blue Gum Forest and that there was no track to it, but many river crossings, you will agree that it was not a bad effort for my younger brother who could not have been more than nine.
  
-But the place richest in "original descents" was Mount Irwin, where we wanted very badly to find a way down to the Wallangambe River.  We had bought some "smooth-eating chocolate", which was not to be eaten until it could be washed down with the water of the Wollangambe, flavoured doubtless with the brass of that evilly tasting drinking-cup!  After many attempts we go down, only to find the sacred waters flowing in the depths of an inaccessible canyon.  I don't know what happened to the "smooth-eating chocolate"; I suppose it returned sorrowfully home with us.+But the place richest in "original descents" was Mount Irwin, where we wanted very badly to find a way down to the Wollangambe River.  We had bought some "smooth-eating chocolate", which was not to be eaten until it could be washed down with the water of the Wollangambe, flavoured doubtless with the brass of that evilly tasting drinking-cup!  After many attempts we go down, only to find the sacred waters flowing in the depths of an inaccessible canyon.  I don't know what happened to the "smooth-eating chocolate"; I suppose it returned sorrowfully home with us.

 Some of us will tell you that we walk to see the country. But how little of it we really do see when out walking.   Very often our eyes are glued to the ground immediately ahead of our feet, carefully watching each step in case we should fall over in our struggle some, heavily weighted movements over the countryside.  Certainly we stop now and again when the leader gets puffed out and says the view is worth looking at; but if we'd been riding a horse, or a cycle; or merely sitting at home in an armchair looking at an illustrated Tourist Bureau pamphlet, we probably would have seen much more of the view without half the bother! Some of us will tell you that we walk to see the country.

 A few of us think we walk for the enjoyable companionship. Admittedly we seem happy enough to be out together; but what about those wives, and sweethearts, and mothers, and maiden aunts of ours, who sit at home knitting our pom pom caps, and socks; and wondering all the while when we'll get sense enough to find out that their company can be even more enjoyable than our own. No sir! It's not the companionship which attracts us - it's the lack of it more likely. A few of us think we walk for the enjoyable companionship.
