Ten of the ‘National Trails’ and Scottish ‘Long Distance Routes’ completed so far, along with dozens of others

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 ‘National Trails’ however. But it is my aim to slowly work through as many of the National Trails over time, however I doubt I’ll ever knock them all off.
