the path that runs between the trees to the No Parkin sign on Gorelands Lane which seems to run downhill in both directions…
the long diagonal clear path through the crop in the large field on the way to the Dumb Bell, where the crop stands proud and high, and the path invites me in, today I go this way…
high above the Chess where the track opens up to the left and I see across the valley to Latimer House…
when I turn away from Chalfont St Giles after running along the Misbourne valley, aware of the ground to my right I have just covered, which somehow comes to mind when I enter my bank code…
the farmyard with the mud by the gate where the cows are in the barn just before I cross the old A41 at the end of Kings Langley on the way to lunch with Mum and Dad. I haven’t been this way for years…
the narrow path between lakes leading to the Coy Carp where I have surprised anglers and once a kingfisher…
and when I reach the canal at the Coy Carp, and smell soap powder from the weir…
the gravel track forming part of the middle path up to Stag Lane…
crossing the lane and the stile to see the wide view opening up over the fields towards the Chalfont Centre…
on the farm track heading towards the ford across the Chess, with the watercress farm and alpacas to my left…
the phone box on the Amersham road near the junction with Dog Kennel Lane, where I find a gap to cross the traffic…
out of Chesham towards the Moor, between the railway bridge and the start of the long car park, which I think of when I floss my teeth on the lower right….
the top of the hill when I reach the field by the Open Air Museum and try to go faster as Garmin shows one mile since home…
Springwell Lake, wild and deserted save the birds, the lake comes and goes between the trees..,
coming into Cassiobury Park at the end of a half, less than a mile to go but which lasts so long…
in my run places I’m lost in effort and pass through in seconds but later picture myself there and yearn to be back and when I cannot visit them I ache to be there
