The river after rain
Follow the bank where the grass gives way to smooth stone. The water is loudest just past the footbridge; pause there before taking the upper path back.
THE ROUTE BOOK
Take the
long way.
These notes are invitations rather than instructions. Check local conditions, bring water and turn around whenever you like.
Beyond the old orchard
A gentle climb through rows of older trees leads to an open field. The return is quieter if you keep to the shaded eastern track.
Before the roads wake
Set out early, while the streets still belong to birds and bakery deliveries. The small hill at the end catches the first light.
