My wanderings are urban as well as rural, and several have taken me overseas around Europe and to North America. All have needed at least some planning: knowing what to see and where to stay remain ever present needs. That and remaining ever open to new possibilities have contributed to what you find here. Everything builds up over time, and I hope that the horizons continue expanding to mean that I can continue to share new things with you here.
Things get moved around from time to time, so you appear to have gone looking for something that have moved or is no longer here. You either can go to the home page to find what you wanted or look below to find what you wanted. Hopefully, you can get back on track using what is here.
