2009 - Wandering aimlessly

The great walker and writer A W Wainwright said "One should always have a definite objective, in a walk as in life - it is so much more satisfying to reach a target by personal effort than to wander aimlessly. An objective is an ambition, and life without ambition is....well, aimless wandering."
I never set out with an objective or ambition, I just wander aimlessly and this is what happens ...
