I have many footsteps up and down the West End over the last few years and have changed how I roll over the last few trips. With the price of a taxi it makes no sense to walk it at night. My local friends do not do it, and to me that is enough of a reason to not do it myself. Why take the chance when you can spend $5 or $10 bucks and get a safe ride to where you need to go. Some places will actually give you a free ride as a service gesture, so why not take them up on it.
My first night ever on island I took my wife to the Seastar Saturday night show. After we got our fill I told her to follow me and we headed down the lane and hung a left at the main road with LTU in sight. She was tripping and only followed me because she was afraid to turn back alone. We made it there, thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and caught a taxi back to the beach where we were staying. In hindsight, I am grateful that all worked out, like it normally would for most peeps. I only knew to take the route after reading numerous post on this site, indulging in the map put together by frequent travelers, and a little liquid courage.
