OK, this may be off topic. I could argue that it is about journey patterns established before the days of mechanised transport, but the truth is that I wanted to share this picture with you all.
This was taken today looking North from the middle of Somerset. The first observation is that the snow can even make Shepton Mallet look beautiful. (Bog Monster will know what I mean.) But the real interest is the dark line running vertically through the picture.
Its the ancient Fosse Way and it can be traced all the way up to Leicester. Some of it has become main roads, some is lost and obscured, but occasionally there are conditions like this when it really stands out.
