"Its not particularly safe but I wouldn't call it dangerous. Not for the likes of us. We have got a lot of ground to cover and we are nowhere near a bridge. I can fight fine but you two are closer to being in your element. Not a drop of water or a lovely ravine in a thousand miles."  He takes lead and though he says its relatively safe he looks over his shoulder frequently. The two of you walk for the rest of the day and when the day transition to night and the night transitions to cold he stops and allows you both a chance to rest.<br/><br/>
