http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/ Welcome to Been there. Your tips on the places you know - that you love, live in or have just visited - are what make this guide. http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6995
Take OS 1:50000 Landranger maps.

Get Sustrans route guides and visibility kits - look out for dirt tracks (bridleways, paths) on the maps - they often form bridges between zones of quiet roads which otherwise are only connected by trunk routes.

Don't sing too loud as you go. If you do, the deer will hide.

Notice how strong a single car smells after you have been breathing clean air for an hour - the exhaust in cities anaesthetizes the nose.

Don't spend time planning a trip - just set off.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6995
