feedback
"Its interesting that I could make a narrative for an audience with this."

"I didn't want to take the most direct route, that actually I am trying to do something more meaningful with my trip than merely get from A to B."

"I was aware the line was being watched which I found intriguing."

"I wondered if you would notice my meeting point with another walker."
