    Walking just for the sake of exercise is boring, not to mention time
    consuming, and if you walk along roads you'll find two things. Firstly
    it'll be hard on your feet and secondly you'll get sick of the traffic.

    Oddly, some people love it (Dan was one, remember?)
    A mate of mine had a regular walking partner who would only walk on
    made up roads - and they did quite long walks.
    I find road walking can sometimes be interesting, but that pint or
    meal at the end is good to keep in mind. I see things I miss when
    driving - it's good to be able to take my eyes off the road for a
    change - very relaxing. If you're into architecture or industrial
    archaeology, some roads - even main routes - can be fascinating.
    One other thing to bear in mind - the main road is probably the most
    direct route. This is certainly true for Birmingham to Coventry.

    Hi from a fellow Brummie . . . .

    Get yourself into Waterstones in the city - there are plenty of books
    containing walking routes in your area - we're actually quite spoilt here in
    the heart of the country - the Malverns, The Lickeys, Clent, The Wrekin,
    Long Myndd, The Cotswolds, The Peak Distrinct and even the Welsh National
    parks are all in striking distance from Brum . . . ..

    Hi from a fellow Brummie . . . .

    Hey Steve, did you get my last email? They don't seem to be getting
    through to you, have you got some kind of spam blocker that's
    intercepting them?

    All my emails are completely trashed with spam now, and many seem to
    come from myself (had another 500 since I logged on last night), so I
    wouldn't be surprised if they're on a spam blacklist somewhere.

    I'll have a new email address soon, but how best to tell people without
    getting it trashed as well? And I'll still have to monitor the old
    email addresses, for some time at least.

    My brother suggested a good idea, using an email with the year in it,
    say pvs2005, then changing it to a new one every year. That way, people
    who understand the format could contact me in years to come even if they
    don't know my new address, they could simply replace the numbers with
    the current year.

    Don't worry Paul, we all know where to find you.....

    I get a burst of spam when I subscribe to a new group, and sporadically
    thereafter, so I just look with Mailwasher and delete it all on the
    server.
    Many are still carrying payloads.
