There is a problem with maps. They are not three-dimensional. They are not long and wide and deep. You see how long my walk is, but you can’t see the steepness of the hills as I walked up and walked down. You can see trees in a Google satellite view, but you can’t see their height. I walked by the embankment of the old railway. It’s wild now – you can see tracks made by badgers. But what’s this? It’s not a badger track. There are five ponies in a nearby meadow and sometimes they escape.
