Wanderlust- Rebecca Solnit

• Walking as holy/ allowing thought.
• Waking as serenity in nature is a product of the middle classes. Need safety. It's a privilege to walk without fear of bandits.
• This freedom ended up removing the aristocracy through right to roam.
• Similarly, it's a privilege to walk without fear of attack as a man.
• Women who walk are often seen as sexual. Consigned to the house.
• Walk is an analogy of a life or tells a story
• People used to walk around mountains not up them. Dragons rumoured to live up the top.
