Finding for myself

  As regular readers will know, I am a keen walker.  One of my walks usually involves some planning.  I  plot out the route on PC mapping software [Memorymap] and download that to a GPS [Satmap].  Some are routes I create, others I find in books and magazines.  I often don’t know the walk and I love the adventure of going somewhere new and the challenge of getting round the route without getting (too) lost!  I’m very lucky in living somewhere that has some of the most beautiful scenery that England, and perhaps, the World has to offer.

In these turbulent times, when a lot of people are trying to find their way, I have had this odd feeling feeling that somehow if I walk enough, somewhere out there I’ll find myself, or at least my way forward.  It isn’t rational, but I do feel that way, and the worst case scenario is that I’ll get some healthy exercise in some lovely countryside.

Does this odd idea have any resonance for you?  Have you tried anything like this?  If so did it work for you?

“All you need is the plan, the road map, and the courage to press on to your destination.”   Earl Nightingale
