'My vicinity affords many good walks; and though for so many years  I have walked almost every day, and sometimes for several days together, I have not yet exhausted them. An absolutely new prospect is a great happiness, and I can still get this any afternoon.’ Henry David Thoreau (and some moaning about fly-tipping!)
