Rules for the night walk, arrived at over two years:

• No headphones. The whole point is that it is quiet and you can hear the quiet.

• A route you know, so you are not navigating.

• Phone in the pocket, on, unlooked at.

• Turn around when you want to, not at a landmark.

The last one took longest to learn. A walk with a target is an errand. I spent a year doing errands in the dark and wondering why it was not working.
