Three Points of the Compass does like to get his teeth into a decent length of trail when he can. Not all of these are the official long-distance ‘National Trails’ in England, Wales and Scotland however. But it is my aim to slowly work through as many of those over time. Thirteen completed to date, however I doubt I’ll ever knock them all off.
Below are a handful of links to a few blogs I’ve written of just a few of my hikes- including a little on gear, food and water sources etc.
