What type of walker are you?

[SunshineOutdoors]

Do you like to follow a prescribed route i.e.out of a book where there's a map and instructions or a follow the wooden signs with the red arrows type walk?

Or do you like to get to an area and explore it in your own way, deciding what you want to do and for how long when you're there?

I tend to seek out the former but I suspect I might get a lot more out of throwing away the book sometimes and doing the latter.

Sometimes I feel like my head's in the book or looking out for that next gate/bend in the road where the next set of instructions start rather than enjoying the beautiful place I'm walking in?

So what type of walker are you? And what do you think's best?

Ah, don't worry, it'll snow agin next week. we had a foot on 30 April last year. It was melted by lunchtime, but y'know. Hobby farm soooooooo beautiful, but can imagine the sludge. Not long now!

Ds1 has developed a horrific faux Canadian accent. It is utterly tragic. I wince every time he starts up, and he can turn it on and off at will. Dd1 has just an edge to hers, and dd2 is resolutely British still.

We're popping back to uk tomorrow (!) for a week. I'm desperate to see if ds1 breaks into Canadian...

We have two geocaches in town here. One is near Ceann Mor, and the other is near the hoodoos. Dh (who knows about these things) has been completely unable to locate either of them, with or without the help of a gps...
