Our turning point is more determined by how Pete feels, the weather, and the incidence of upness and also the driving time from the parked car back to Café Ambio, so no precise timing is used. Having launched into this explanation I have cut more of the detail short because it has given me an idea for a slightly different blog post from the usual walkles versions.Sir Hughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17908756392825206914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365582190126322848.post-23099066380113520232019-08-24T19:41:43.076+01:002019-08-24T19:41:43.076+01:00Just out of curiosity regarding your time limit fo...Just out of curiosity regarding your time limit for these walks: Do you set a timer or do you just walk with an eye on your watch? If the latter, do you not sometimes get carried away and walk further than intended?<br /><br />I often nip out for a walk by myself early in the morning, during which I usually listen to an audiobook. I make sure I'm not longer than I've told Mick I'll be by setting a sleep-timer on the book so I know when to turn back. It doesn't always work - sometimes the path I'm on is too interesting and I ignore the turn-around call.Gaylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08648378503343413924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365582190126322848.post-28738335358644753422019-08-24T12:56:54.591+01:002019-08-24T12:56:54.591+01:00afoot - I found that also from your prompt - thank...afoot - I found that also from your prompt - thanks. But not much of interest as you say - There is a Ramsgreave Hall and the area is north of Blackburn, Lancs which is a modest car drive away from the plaque at Conder Green. If she had been of some note there would have been more to find - we can't win them all.Sir Hughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17908756392825206914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365582190126322848.post-44587234606625671062019-08-24T08:33:17.378+01:002019-08-24T08:33:17.378+01:00I found a Christine Ann Dawson of Ramsgreave.

You might think that I had too much time on my hands which is far from the truth.afootinthehillshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06670636358354420373noreply@blogger.com
