As she stumbled over another stone, so deep in thought, she wasn't looking where she was going.
She rose to her feet and limped behind the others, it wouldn't do to fall behind.

Having to wait with her heavy backpack while the men hacked away at the bush made the journey seem even more longer and their progress laborious.
