When life allows, I like to go for a good long walk once a week. I live in the Cotswolds, so it only makes sense to make use of the hills; and besides, my brain only really functions properly in solitude, and it pays to give it a recharge as often as possible. I don't usually bother the internet with the details, as I don't have a camera, but I borrowed somebody else's this weekend. So have pictures! Of wandering, and general greenliness.
This is my favourite road.
Up a hill. Note the other hills flaunting the fact that they're higher. Gits.
They're even still that bit higher when you climb a tree, which is just unfair.
A wood. Though sadly not a very big one.
Beware the Cthulhu tree!
Bubble bubble bubble.
I have no way of knowing how long a walk is. Probably no more than eight or nine miles, as I usually aim to be gone for around three hours, and it's all twisty-turny and up and down hills. Not everybody's thing, I know (be it a matter of taste or opportunity), but as I watch my parents become less and less able to walk, I think I find myself more and more determined to do what I can, when I can. Also, the solitude is utterly fantastic. There is nothing like the quiet of a world away from people. I recommend it. Just as long as you find your own place, and don't all come here. ;)

Cirencester is a nice place. I spent a day there recently. Very impressed by the church.
