Do many of you do country walking at weekends-or indeed summer nights after work?
This has been a growing addiction of mine-and the missus for the past 5 years or so...nearly every sat or sun (saturdays are usually quieter) almost exclusively in the North of England.
Teesdale, Weardale, Northumberland, North York moors and county durham, on the doorstep, jarrod guides highly recommended...we usually do 6 ml minimium up to 9-10 recently, the limiting factor recently being carrying the 'bairn' in the harness.
In lots of ways it is like going back in a timewarp..you feel a real connection with the past and appreciation of the scale of all those little places on foot
My definition of a 'real' country walk would be one beyond the hearing range of (poxy) road traffic on paths that even mountain bikes stay clear of..I have found out there are many a small oasis locally where you can get away
