Road bridge over the old railway line near Gnosall The old track bed now carries a popular local walking and cycling path, the Way for the Millennium, and walkers seem to enjoy using it. I saw several couples out today. Great to see.

Footpath and cyclepath on the Way for the Millennium near Gnosall Great walking. Lots of nature, lots of sunshine. I feel good because I am on the final leg of my walk and I know navigational challenges are low to non-existent, fellow walkers are about, buzzards call, crows mob them and I can imagine this as a rail line. I can also look forward to a pub lunch, a half of beer and a chat maybe. But there are still interesting things to see and virgin turf to tread. All my needs seem to be met. Optimum happiness state attained.

Farm beside the Way for the Millennium near Gnosall I like this walk. I am playing some music on my phone (I cannot recall the track, but it suited the mood). My walk is very close to being completed. Always a nice feeling.
