During
lockdown, when we were limited to leaving home for a maximum of an hour and
only on foot, I started to explore the local footpaths around my home. I had
never really done this before, preferring to jump in the car and
find a hill to climb where there would be a view, but this was a better option
than not walking at all.
There is
quite a network of paths but, in truth, they are not very interesting so it is no
surprise that I rarely meet another soul. To begin with I was nervous of going
too far and being out too long, or worse still, getting lost. But as things
eased up and my confidence grew, I widened out my routes. If I am feeling particularly
energetic I can extend the walk out to five miles – or even more.
But this
weekend I am just warming up, checking out the routes, getting back into the
swing of walking.
