I've enjoyed reading adaese's words. What a great visit you had.

It's timely for me in fact. Today I met my tattooist to plan a design of ammonites, which led to a conversation about Lyme Regis with snailbones, which led to reminiscence about my walk from Lyme to the Thames passing several of the places adaese mentions. There's always something new to learn in the old places.

It was indeed a great trip - and your walk from Lyme to the Thames sounds interesting. How long did it take you?

2 years or more. Like all the long-distance paths I've walked, I did this one in stages to fit around other parts of my life. I carried a tent many times. In fact, I'm trying to remember whether I slept under a roof at all during my Ridgeway walk. It was a wonderful experience.

Here's one of the anecdotes. I'd put up my tent (that time on an actual campsite) after carrying it up an escarpment, and was admiring the leaves on a tree when a voice called, 'You used to dance with Rogue Morris didn't you?' Yes I did. There was a team of dancers on site who, in proper Morris tradition, invited me to walk half a mile to the pub with them. I had to decline because my feet said no.
