Walk #2 (22/10/2020)

Walking on the route from Pittville Park to Overton Park (near Cheltenham Ladies College Sports Centre) was not enjoyable for me. It almost felt like a sheltered green bypass, I could hear and see some of the traffic congestion and buzz of people going by while feeling isolated from it simultaneously. 

One aspect I did admire was the part of the route on Honeybourne road where there was a bridge, I felt elevated from having the advantage point of looking down at vehicles. The viewpoint change also made me feel exposed, cars from the distance would be able to see me walking across. Aside from the continuous change in height levels, the space also felt enclosed making me feel smaller- I did not like this at all. The dark greenery made the enclosed path feel ever so smaller and narrower, almost drowning myself out. 

However, I feel as though it provided a great enough experience for people walking along this route to  have a strong opinion about it. The experience grabs you because of the changing space over the period of the walk and because of this, it is an enticing route regardless of my personal opinion.
