Tie* is the best system of inland travelling
in Norway.
Only those who have tried it can fairly appreciate
the refreshing influence of the change between
walking and driving when thus carried out
systematically ; both walking and driving become
positively and permanently luxurious. The bracing
and healthful influence of travelling is brought
to its maximum by this change of action and the
continuous activity without fatigue.
I recommend it even to the sturdiest pedestrians,
provided they reduce their luggage to one box for
three, and walk on the two-thirds principle above
described.
On the two-thirds afoot arrangement, if each
wTalks 20 miles, the rate of progress will be 30
miles per day, or by walking 30 miles, 45 miles
will be done.
In like manner on the half-and-half system
with two or four, 20 miles walking gives 40 miles
progress, and so on. Or one-third afoot gives 45
miles daily progress with 15 miles walking.
* I am bound to add that my invention, great as it is in application,
is not absolutely original. It was first practised by two country boys
in England making a journey with one donkey. The first rode on
half-way, tied the donkey to a gate to await the arrival of the
pedestrian, who then rode on and overtook his companion. Hence “ride
and tie.”
