Love the photo. I wonder why someone would be walking through the field of Rape...for reasons other than to get to the other side of the field. The 'foot-path' seems to vanish in the distance which makes it seem a long way across the field. A "short-cut" I suppose?
Thanks Larry.
Footpaths in England have often been established for hundreds if not thousands of years. If there is a right to walk across a field then that is where the walkers go (resulting in the brown stripe without the rape above). This particular footpath led between two villages and was a much more direct route than the road.
Interesting... what you and larry write... when we were at the seaside holiday in
Silecroft .. Cumbria.... I have seen these path's and people were telling us about
them.. but never done it because a week is actually very short... but it is a
strange thought that you can just go and walk on a strangers farm..
there is actually books on hiking trails... even a Beatrix Potter trail book..
we actually done none of them..!! sadly.... !!
