Rail Lines as Safer Travel Route

[The Local Ned]

Just make sure you know where the best possible places to trap someone using these routes are BP ,and plan to avoid them if it's possible.

Think - where would I mug someone who was using these paths ?

Find those - plan around them , or recce before you reach them, and only then move forward.

As Paul has said , sometimes its far more effective hiding in plain sight of others , Hi-Vis vests , combat gear , torches mounted on short sticks etc , anyone seeing a group moving forward that looks equipped and capable , and aren't trying to be stealthy , might just decide to avoid you.

My own preference is to be unseen - unheard.
