Walking Through Cemeteries - Key Points

One of the many discoveries I've made walking through many different cemeteries is that there is a requirement for some preparation.

The first is footwear, general walking shoes are a good practical choice.  Heels and other work shoes are not suitable.  This is important.  Trust me.  

The second is protection from the sun, cemeteries often have few trees and other forms of shade, and as such it is quite easy to get sun burnt.  In my case quite badly sunburnt.

The final item is to be respectful.  Whilst cemeteries seem to be well laid out, as you investigate you may find to access some memorials requires some walking across other plots.  Or walking in areas that may be unmarked graves.  I have been known to walk carefully around, whilst mumbling apologies to those who may or may not be underfoot.  I do worry that other people may think I'm rather odd, taking photos of memorials, wandering around apologising to no one, wearing a large hat, and complaining on my choice of shoes. 

Oh well that is the joy of unusual hobbies!
