Talking about the track, Harry Lloyd shared, “When looking out over the sea one sunset, with my bare feet in the sand, this stillness came over me. Walking through the mountains with my fingertips lightly touching the grasses and tops of the bushes, my mind would be completely empty. In the connection felt with nature, there’s only space for contentment.”
