Hi Skep
Brilliant photography and perhaps a guide book in the making??!!
At one time I would have joined you - the mind says yes!yes! and the knees etc now say No!No!
I have hiked in many areas of England and Wales, and with my did husband 'The Limestone Way' about 40 miles carrying full camping gear overnight. That was a one off but plenty shorter practice trips.
There are various 'bugs' associated with camping and I think you are about to discover another with backpacking. The pub at the end of the hike or after pitching is always the best one in the world.

Love the avenue of ancient trees, love those old houses with their arts and crafts chimneys (I think that's the era) and love the colourful reservoir of canalboats. Glad your doggy got a pic. If Val does other half will make a great walk never mind practice. Count me in if I can make the weekend it eventually gets sorted.
