Car-free-dom means that when you head out walking – which we do a lot into the Peak Districk, UK – you don’t have to return to where you started. I mentioned these car-free point-to-point possibilities in a post a while back.

By point-to-point I mean simply that you can start a walk somewhere, i.e where your bus or train stopped, and finish it somewhere else. i.e. where another bus or train stops. It sounds a simple possibility but it is surprising how much more of an adventure it is than walking a circular route back to where you started.

It is fair to say that getting into the Peak Districk – our nearest zone for walking – we are not overly blessed with transport options. There are a few hourly, or worst, bus routes, and a few train stations also with hourly-ish services.

With those public travel options we have experimented with loads of different point-to-point walks – many of them really stunning little advertures. It does take some planning and orientation to figure out what might work, but we have found it really rewarding.

So go on, in your (quest for) car-free-dom, get out there! Why go around in circles when you can have a point-to-point adventure?
