Short days
A 13 mile walk yesterday from my home town of Market Harborough linking up the Northamptonshire villages of Dingley, Braybrooke, Great Oxendon and East Farndon.
I would've included Arthingworth too but decided against it as the sun was already low on the horizon by the time I'd left Braybrooke.
The walk included short sections of four long distance footpaths including the Macmillan Way, Midshires Way, Brampton Valley Way and the Jurassic Way. Baffling then that landowners don't have more signage on their land for walkers to navigate.
As it was, I'd follow one sign, get across the other side of a field only to be met with hedgerow and barbed wire and no sign of a way through or which direction to take. It was only by me knowing roughly the lay of the land and following farm tracks for some way that I was able to navigate a way through.
But I only ever return from such a walk with a peaceful mind and a glad heart.
