Craig Mod, walker extraordinaire:
the point of the walk is to inculcate a pervasive boredom, and from that: a heightened attention. You want to feel like you’re going to go a little nuts from lack of stimulation. It’s in that space where you begin to “feel out” the “true” shape of the road (and with that, the true shape of a country, too). Without the boredom, much of the value of the experience is lost (this is why I have my rules: solo, no podcasts, no social media, no news, etcetera).
