Same here, but I would need to get to grips with myself first!

Besides, there's just so much to include that one always ends up thinking - "B***er it, it can't be done properly and thoroughly".

But I know the feeling - a labyrinthine rural world of treacherous bendy roads, forested rolling hills and narrow paths overgrown by fern and brambles, all of that giving home to thousands of barrows and granite outcrops with (often eroded) rock art. Add to that the constant wind and rain for much of the year and your mood nearly collapses for good and you think this land is cursed.

That’s why, done here for the first time ever, geo-referencing everything is so useful, at least for the first stage of the journey. And also, once there, if the clouds briefly let the Sun shine on you, the whole Land brightens up and shows off. Climate change is making things more extreme and unpredictable, with messed-up seasons and longer, drier periods at any time of the year so you just have to wait for the right moment to be rewarded.
