      Not quite the moors. This is Icknield Way which claims to be one of the oldest roads in Britain and runs about 170 miles, close to where I live now. I am used to walking on 'the moors' close to where I am originally from in Yorkshire/ Derbyshire. If you have seen any adaptation of Jane Eyre those are the moors I grew up close to...

    I love these old greenways. I return to the Ridgeway whenever I can - in fact we've just come back from a walk along it. I have always planned to walk the Icknield Way , but never managed it yet. The gathering storm adds to that ancient feel.
