I walked for miles and miles alone, without a single podcast, in shorts and sandals along the loch side. By the time I reached the village at around the mid-point of the 32-mile route, however, I was missing TPR’s company.

My access to resources amounted to £1.50 in my pocket, a red phone box, and a taxi cab. Since I couldn’t afford the taxi, I went to make a call to TPR.

In the phone box I found an abandoned pile of loose change. I reckoned that I might be able to afford a cab home after all.
