semw52's video: Banwell Wood Re Visited Part I Track Field by Sheila November 19th 2020

A Banwell Wood Re-visit---the wood with the Tower and the caves---today is just a scan and a wander down the track on the south side of the wood---its Autumn ---its ' A Covid-19 Lock Down' and its a beautiful day---a window of calm after the storms to escape the home and wander in peace----I thought it would be could to return in the Autumn and re-visit the area I explored more thoroughly in the Summer months---also during the 1st 'Lock Down'....Today during the 2nd 'Lock-Down' I noticed the M5 was far busier than the 1st Lock-Down---people are actually less wary of travelling, less worried in many ways---but many have lost their jobs due to the massive closure of all sorts of businesses---some relying on the 'Furlough Scheme' to help compensate for their forced loss of work---others made redundant, loosing their jobs completely------this is their real worry, real anxiety the loss of income ---not a good thing when you have been socialized into a consumer world and all its trappings----stuff, social life, holidays, mortgages, HP, debts, credit cards etc......a dependency in many ways upon a society that is thriving---the ability to pay----for many this is extremely depressing---amplified by social isolation, distancing and new rules and restrictions---everything that was 'Normal' has changed-----so people are on the move --trying to keep sane, keep well....''Strange times ' indeed------Walking for me has always been a passion and my healer-----a doorway to recover......As I wander on this re-visit I do notice things missed on the first encounter--new perspectives are created and the knowledge of the area expanded---each visit anywhere is unique----
