Superb, thank you for that.

As Cope sang so memorably in Autogeddon Blues, "It's a barbed wire fence, which side d'you choose?"

Criminalisation of trespass has got to be fought.

Just been sent a link to this:

"Slow Ways is a project to create a network of walking routes that connect all of Great Britain’s towns and cities as well as thousands of villages.

Using existing footpaths, people will be able to use the Slow Ways to walk between neighbouring settlements or daisy-chain routes for long distance journeys."

"... So I'll walk where I will over mountain and hill
And I'll lie where the bracken is deep
I belong to the mountains, the clear running fountains
Where the grey rocks lie ragged and steep
I've seen the white hare in the gullys
And the curlew fly high overhead
And sooner than part from the mountains
I think I would rather be dead."

It's good to ramble :-) I wonder when the countryside became 'another place' to us. To visit if lucky but not belong. Bit sad really.
