When you come to the hills, keep that same rythum, but if its a hard hill reduce the size of your steps instead,... but always keep the rythum
Couldn't agree more! Maintain the pace, step short going up and down...
If the walking/marching is starting to get hard, dont look around you, stare at the persons feet in front of you and put your foot down with his, this is why a body of soldiers keeps rotateing the front men to the rear, so its not the front men that always suffer with the pace,....if its just you, stare at your own feet, and sing in time to your feet hitting the ground
Done this a few times!
It comes to mind though, that post event, maintaining situational awareness would be vital...
Experimenting with the including quotes thing - didn't work out too well, did it?
