Walking backwards over Husbands Bosworth Tunnel

A few weeks ago now we walked the horse path over the top of Husbands Bosworth Tunnel on the Leicester Section of the GU. It's always interesting to go over the top, as it drives home the difficulty of the terrain for the canal builders.


The path over HB tunnel is clearly defined, and is itself a tunnel through the trees for much of the way.


There are splendid views over the Leicestershire countryside - this really is a lovely area.


David and Fergus are both going in the same direction, but which of them is walking backwards?

It's the boy. His shoulder's hunched as if he needs to look over his shoulder to know where he's going.
The man is striding easily.

Sherlock, there could be another reason why the boy's shoulder is hunched. He broke his collar bone only a few days before, as evidenced by the sling.

I think it's David going backwards. It's the daft kind of thing he would do! Also, he looks like he's trying to keep his balance.

Well, who is right?

HS, I'm seeing David tonight so I'll ask him. The trouble is - he might not be able to remember.
