Rambling is a wide-ranging activity, so I made a Top 18 in four categories: hikes, rambling zones, urban strolls, and courses. Hikes are on trails, rambling zones are open expanses for free roaming, urban strolls are city walks, and courses are big spaces where a sport is played (think golf, where the 18 comes from).
These lists are continuously updated as I go to more places. The order is not important.

In this grainy photo, we see the creature. Not Bigfoot, but the Rambler.
I wonder how long it would take to walk to all these places. They are my Top 18 out of the list above.
Probably not as long as it would take to walk between these places.
Ever felt the need to go the distance? Here’s a map of long-distance walking routes (National Scenic Trails).
