I am doing so every day (with my very supportive colleagues) to further the objectives set in my ‘Year of Me’ declaration.  This trail is about 4 km (2.5 miles) long.  Just right for a lunchtime walk. Oops, there’s a bit of a blip at the beginning… there’s no way I walk 12.5 km/h!

Download Google Maps 5.0 here.
