It’s always fun to get out of your own neighborhood and into someone else’s and just walk. I’ve been here once before, but during the daylight hours. At night or in the gloaming, this bit of sidewalk could lead to disaster . . .

Yes I should think a torch would be a necessity at night.
I just love the differences in British and American English at times! Of course you know a torch in American English is a flash light . . . a torch here is a flaming thingy carried by crazed peasants in 1930s horror films. My first thought was, “Noooooo! We’ll have a wildfire!”
