A place with a lot of memories for you, I know!<br /><br />Canoeing, cycling, walking, running - it's just great to get outdoors, isn't it, Dan?<br /><br />George - well, there are quite a few, George - the stroll through the centre of Skelmersdale, for instance!<br /><br />Glad to have inspired you, Goat. I think you need to extend that visa by three lifetimes! If you have three months, though, you could do a lot. That South West coastal Path would be a good choice, I think - but there are so many possibilities (the UK has over 600 waymarked trails of varying lengths.) I've only walked a small proportion of these, but I'd really recommend the Pennine Way as an introduction. Or the Dales Way. Or the Coast-to-Coast. Oh, there are so many lovely paths ...<br /><br />Thanks, Ruth, for your comment. I think part of the fun and deep satisfction derived from walking is the protean nature of the activity - all those linkages with history, literature, philosophy, spirituality, landscape, art ... as I tried to describe in my series about walking earlier this year.<br /><br />Karin - absolutley NO connection with the British Tourist Board, Karin!
