If there's one thing that gets me into trouble, it's over-preparation. I'd read so much about the first six miles of today's walk. A six-mile path with no exits. Six miles below the cliffs. Six miles of land that's continually shifting. A place where each year new chasms and crevasses are created. These are all the things I took in. I conveniently ignored the talk of the wonder of the Undercliff, of its unique characteristics, its beauty and peace.
