I'm sure I'm not the only one sometimes taken aback at the command of the English language as demonstrated by those to whom the language (as Zappa might say) is a non-primary liguistic communication implement.I'm continually humbled at how articulate...

It will not be every rambler's choice - particularly overseas ramblers - but the nomination of Alfred Wainwright's 190-mile coast-to-coast walk as the second best long-distance walk in the world will be applauded by most of the 10,000 who traverse it...
