The ten commandments
St Nicholas, Freefolk. Not easy to read here but luckily I jotted them down. I think I've got them right. 1 Thou shalt not forget thy walk book. 2 Thou shalt not covet another walkers socks. 3 Thou shalt not not drink beer in a pub. 4 Thou shalt not cause slow people to hurry. 5 Thou shalt not leave mud on top of a stile. Not if thou art first. 6 Thou shalt not wrap thy boots in Tesco bags whilst they are still on thine feet. 7 Thou shalt not hang an map round thy neck in an plastic contraption. 8 Thou shalt not suggest less walks in winter. 9 Nor shalt thou suggest later starting times. 10 Thou shalt not get other people lost.
