Wow, I'm a member of the over 200 mile group - not too bad!
One thing I try to do when walking is to make conscious use of all five senses. Here are my current favorite sensory perceptions:
sight - Definitely the red poppies that are growing along the edge of fields and by the side of roads
sound - Birds, different ones at various times of the day
smell - Wild roses, absolutely wonderful
touch - The soft, new-grown tips of evergreens
taste - Nothing wild and edible at the moment...
Current drawback - a touch of hayfever... Didn't allergies exist in Middle-earth? We never read of anyone sneezing, do we?
