I often walk from Accrington to Higham via Clayton to visit an old school friend. Its underrated!!!
I miss not being to walk much nowadays.

Most lunchtimes I used to walk just under three miles round the Serpentine, smoke three cigarettes in the Italian gardens in Kensington Gardens, march back to Knightsbridge, go and make a brew, and was easily back at work before my lunch hour was up.

I also really miss walking up on the moors here to.

Still, I can appreciate their beauty by looking at them, even if I can't get up there.
