extreme ramblers association

The Ramblers association is OK, if you like that sort of thing, but many people yearn for higher adventure, even if it is just around the block. Extreme rambling is taking the old country walk and stretching it above and beyond its normal shape and colour. Take night hikes without a torch using only moonlight to show the way. Walk up streams in waders or a wet suit. Hike across other people's land- observing the age old right to roam especially on old common land that has been appropriated. Go anywhere in the Highlands. Do not observe the country code. Walk on water by using floats attached to your feet and waling poles. See how far you can walk from Didcot power station and still be able to see it. Walk along the pillbox lines that crisscross southern England. Walk along tidal river beaches dodging the tides, also beaches similarly hemmed in. The association could be started with a simple site and membership list, a quarterly magazine and a forum for members to post their own extreme rmbles.

Now thats a rather intriguing idea, and one that I'm tempted to snaffle away from you to see if it can get going (speaking as one with a certain individual approach where Right To Roam is concerned)

BTW - Dr R's Universal Language - a nicely judged story, with an intriguing undercurrent of ideas. I loved it. Thank You
