So, having said all that, you'll understand why today I resolved to avoid the gravel. I had after all set off in torrential rain. Best laid plans and all that. I'd say that I have been dodging potholes and rocks most of the day. Still, I felt and feel good. I was wandering along a muddy track on top of a ridge; the misty air was still and I could have been the only person in the world. I followed a hare along the path and into the woods. Later I watched a kite soaring, as it turned a partridge hurtled itself into the nearest tree. I found a road striped in purples, yellows, greens and reds as the trees dropped their various fruit at their feet.
Eventually I reached the top of the final climb and could see for miles in every direction. That's why I love this.
