Robin Jarvis Quotes

Pedestrianism, [William Bingley] Claims, Is The Most 'useful' Mode Of Travel, 'if Health And Strength Are Not Wanting.'
'To A Naturalist, It Is Evidently So; Since, By This Means, He Is Enabled To Examine The Country As He Goes Along; And When He Sees Occasion, He Can Also Strike Out Of The Road, Amongst The Mountains Or Morasses, In A Manner Completely Independent Of All Those Obstacles That Inevitably Attend The Bringing Of Carriages Or Horses.'
Bingley Has A Specific Reason Here For Valuing The Combination Of Freedom And Intimacy With One's Surroundings Enjoyed By The Pedestrian, But His Rationale Is Generalisable To Other Travellers.
