Looking more like a winner of a Roy Orbison look-alike
contest than a hiker doing a coast walk
Chris 'Mr Knobs' Aley in 2001
Chris, like me, is a keen hiker/rambler and many years ago he sent me lists based on a hiking theme. I thought this one was so good that I added a few of my own selections (even numbered) and this list can be found below. It is based on songs by the band "The Who"
THE WHO's WALKING SONGS
by Chris Aley & Paul Ellis
1. THE SEEKER (For walkers and compass users everywhere)
2. HEATWAVE (The reason we rarely walk in summer here in Australia)
3. I CAN SEE FOR MILES (Not after a drink I can't)
4. COBWEBS AND STRANGE (Taking a rarely walked track)
5. BORIS THE SPIDER (Only because I don't think they wrote one about a snake)
6. DON'T LOOK AWAY (The view is much too good)
7. GOING MOBILE (For cheats and those that say they walked it, but took the car)
8. I'VE BEEN AWAY (Bushwalking in the Budawangs of course)
9. ANYWAY, ANYHOW, ANYWHERE (Where am I now? who cares)
10. MAN WITH THE MONEY (He's the one who can afford to purchase the best hiking equipment)
11. WON'T GET FOOLED AGAIN (To all those who have been encouraged to do this)
12. SPARKS (Windy night by the campfire)
13. I'M FREE (Yes I could be, but in this bloody tent no chance)
14. DO YOU THINK IT'S ALRIGHT (The track looks very muddy & slippery, that ledge looks very narrow)
15. SUMMERTIME BLUES (Probably will be after all the damn falls, cuts and bruises)
16. SHAKIN' ALL OVER (Nervous reaction to some sheer heights)
17. AMAZING JOURNEY (It would be amazing especially after a night in the pub)
18. I'VE HAD ENOUGH (The afternoon of the 5th day of a very hard walk)
19. BEHIND BLUE EYES (Where did this come from?)
20. SEA AND SAND (Coastal bushwalk)
