Today's walk: Not quite to the castle like building Almost five miles. I started heading up the path I noticed the other day heading in the general direction of the castle like building up on the hill. Once I reached the other end of the field, the trail I was on was blocked due to some construction. I followed the signs diverting the public foot path but my plans were thwarted as it led to a dead end and turned off in the wrong direction than I was trying to go. It was a lovely path though, lined on either side with planted rows of trees. I backtracked to the crossroads sign, a little post by a bridge pointing to the paths radiating from that intersection, "Shakespeare Path", "Beechwood Path", general public footpath... I followed Shakespeare back into Cookham. There were three people on horses on this path, navigating the soggy terrain at a much faster clip than I was. I then just headed to Cookham's High Street where I picked up menus from a couple of restaurants, some places have websites yet don't have they're menus online. And headed home. I'll make it to that hill by path yet!
