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.

Prepare to meet thy doom! This red sandstone gravestone in Haughton churchyard has the following verse-
"The grave has eloquence its lectures teach
In silence louder than devines can preach
Hear what it says ye sons of folly hear
It speaks to you lend an attentive ear
Prepare! prepare! prepare! to die"
