Two intrepid lady hikers take center stage, accompanied by an enigmatic blacksmith who seems unsure if he can find the perfect shoe for their journey! The image captures the essence of a bygone era, where nature and exploration were cherished pastimes. The rugged charm of the smithy adds an intriguing element to the scene, as his expertise is put to the test. Will he be able to fashion a suitable horseshoe for these adventurous souls? Clad in practical shorts and equipped with knapsacks and rucksacks filled with essentials for their trek, these women exude confidence and determination. Their presence reminds us that outdoor pursuits have long been enjoyed by individuals seeking solace amidst picturesque landscapes. Preserved within the George Garland Collection at West Sussex Record Office, this photograph offers a glimpse into history while celebrating both female empowerment and traditional craftsmanship. It serves as a testament to the enduring spirit of walkers and ramblers throughout generations.
