Walk: it takes 1h 40′ to walk the 8 miles from Tamworth to home. Add a few minutes to stop and watch the packington pigs. I took the car to Tamworth for a service, planning to shop while it’s being done. Plans changed when they estimated a 6 hr wait- so I went into town shopping, then take the bus home. That bus left ten minutes before I got there, so I started to walk. I had this idea to catch the bus in Hopwas. Once underway though, walking has a nice feel to it, it’s warm, the scenary is interesting and the action builds a natural rhythm. I walked all the way home feeling good about it- those busses are so annoying, getting home glad I bypassed them.
