We went walking beyond the back of beyond on Sunday. It was only 20 miles as far as the crow flies from home, but in the desolate wilderness of Keilder forest, we could have been miles from civilisation. One of the primary reasons that area is visited so rarely is the lack of vehicular access so as we yomped across the somewhat boggy terrain, it really made us think about roads and their destructive impact on remote, isolated locations. There are so few truly wild places left in the UK that it was something of a privilege to be there
