There's something seemingly very important, validating and almost spiritual about being able to move yourself through your landscape without the wheeled box. Whether it's paddling, fell running or even walking though a city. It's an act of connection and recognition, I feel.

I agree. There’s more chance of becoming part of the land or water. Though I’ve also had a few drives where I’ve felt at one with the vehicle driving winding A roads in a state of magical flow. Maybe it’s an inside job?

I love Kukutali Preserve. I'm overdue a visit. And I agree about the tall poppy syndrome. So much about UK society seems to be about keeping people down and in their place. It's why I had to get away.
