I’ve been struggling this year with getting out of the local area. I can have a plan the night before and in the morning talk myself out of it.

Today I made it to Arnside. I didn’t walk as far as I intended because I missed a footpath junction . . . I was trying a new route. When I realised I’d probably passed it my phone was only on 3G and wouldn’t load the map. I’d intended to download the OS one before I left home and forgot. I decided not to turn back and find the intended path.

It was still a good 3.5 miles walk and a much needed change of scenery.
