The Eternal Vagabond Question













If you walk in the morning, you may well partake of a drink before the finish. After the completion of this walk you may well have another. Then in the evening you may go for a drink. Next morning you may go off on another walk, have a drink at a checkpoint, and when finished you may well take another drink!!!
SO. It can be argued that you drank during AND after the walk on the first day. Then on the second day you drank before the walking, during the walking, and after the walking!!!
This is SO confusing that I really cannot sort it out, sorry.
We still ask:
Do Vagabonds Drink between Walking,
Or
Walk between Drinking?
The Vagabonds eternal unanswered question is:-
Do we Drink between Walking,
Or
Do we Walk between Drinking ?
In a bold bid to answer this question, I embarked upon a survey.
Wherever we walked, I asked Vagabonds their opinions, in an effort to get the answer.
Below is A photographical look at how I endeavoured to answer this question
Blankenberge. (John A)
" I'm just drinking".
Blankenberge. (Malc) "Geoff what do you think"? (Geoff) "I personally drink after walking".
Blankenberge.(Marcus what about you?)
Dunno, I'm from Watford. Any way ask Taff and Rob behind you . We drink 'cos the rest of you do".
Blankenberge.(Keith, John, Rob & Bill)
" We are drinking between walking".
Blankenberge.(Robin)
" We're drinking before walking".
On the canals in Brugge. (Malc) "What do you think Brian"? (Brian) "Is that a pub up there "?
Blankenberge. Malc at Sinatra's very late into
the night and still no nearer .
the night and still no nearer .
Back in Blankenberge at Sinatra's. "Excuse me Sir, how about you? Oh really!!
No need to get personal"!!
Waendel Weekend Wellingborough. Malc on his 4th pint of old Rosie Cider. "I drink anytime, but it's making me hallucinate! Who the heck is he"?
At home, Malc. "Half way through the Research, what is the answer? I still cant work it out".
Eastbourne. On holiday with Mother and Aunt. (Malc).
"Great holiday. Any clue in the newspaper Mum?" (Mum). "Yes. Beer is to go up by 3p a pint, and Vagabond walks up another 25p!! Get me a cup of tea".
Leicestershire. Cracked it. I have a vision.
We will take all our walks alongside rivers and canals, and have our own support beer vessel!! This looks like a long walk!!
Blankenberge. (Hans & Carol)
"We are drinking between walking".
