No route to follow as a script for this blog!
Have I enjoyed completing the walks – yes. Has it been a challenge – yes at times, it has taken a certain amount of single minded focus and determination but also a feeling of liberation.
I have become hugely more confident about going off to unknown places and walking by myself. I have found that the wide open isolated places of some of my walks have really appealed to me and reminded me of days on the mountains in the Lake District.
I have enjoyed writing my blog even though at times it has been harder to do than the walk! I’ve always tried to achieve it in a tight timescale and sometimes a bit too late at night!
I have found walking has evoked so many memories and associations. Not that I wish to dwell in the past but sometimes you forget all the associations and events that have contrived over time to make you who you are. It is good to acknowledge this from time to time.
Thank you to those who have walked with me, great to share the experience.
I’ve walked in Sussex, Devon, Orkney, New Forest, Brecon Beacons National Park and of course in Oxfordshire. I would happily walk in all these places again as well as widening my adventures.
There are things planned over the next months and as I’ve now had to pay for a year’s subscription!
Watch out for the next 50 walks – not such a tight time scale I really need to do things in my house, have work to do for Trusts I support as well as an Outdoor Centre and I need to keep making books ( been a bit neglected over the summer).
So my challenge is 50 in 5 months – might not be as challenging but it does include December, January and February!
Hopefully some of you will continue to follow and I really do hope you have enjoyed my 50 blogs!
