My wife goes like max 50 meters, but I … Yes, and I love it. I only bring a light to make me and my dog visible if traffic comes up (which is very rare). I follow the road, or a path in the woods and occasionally cross the wood in a “straight” line.
Pro tip: clear sky, -2°c or below leads to extra long walks
Tried to get my 10k steps in today, just got back home and it’s so quiet when it gets dark here in my area, plus it’s pretty much lit with streetlights so there’s some safety in that, plus I got my music with me 👍🏽
The nearest is 1,5 Km away, I avoid them, your eyes get used to the dark and you can see much more and over a greater distance.
I got my music with me
Tried that but not my thing. I rather listen to the silence and/or the sounds in the forest. Also, the sound of my steps also allows me stay on the track while still looking up (the sky) and around. True, it took a while to “learn” but walking in the dark and silence enhanced the feeling of the ground under you feet and usage of your hearing.
The walk I like to go on takes me by the sea. Sometimes when it’s in the minus temperature there’s this effect where a sort of low level mist comes from the land and moves over the sea. It’s like a layer of cloud but moving like a fluid but only a few cm high. It’s hypnotizing.

I know what you mean. You have similar effects in the woods sometimes. Those times it becomes clear to me how Sagas and legends originated
