Todays walk continued my ongoing mission to walk all the footpaths in Purbeck and fill in all the gaps in my mental map of the place. Clouds scud across the sky as the battle between winter and spring wends on, but in middling, when the beams of the sun, freed from the cloud, rake the land and you feel the growing warmth, you know it's only a matter of time before the battles won. Another lovely day exploring the hills and valley, along field edges, through woodland and along little traveled paths. So little traveled sometimes, that they're so neglected they're hard to define and follow. Never a chore though, no. Every new path illuminates another aspect of the landscape, another view, another secret place is discovered. There is just something about this land. There's a timelessness that transports you. It's a joy to immerse yourself and find yourself outside of time for a while.
