I love browsing maps. We're incredibly lucky in the UK to have OS maps as the details and notation is fantastic. What's also great is large scale maps of local areas. They go to 1:5000 and also orienteering maps are incredibly descriptive if you can read them well. I really enjoy identifying unusual map features and then visiting them and I often combine map use with satellite images to get a deep understanding of how land use.
Yes we are! OS Maps are incredible and are pieces of artwork in their own right. I can lose hours admiring maps and still learn new things about my local area
Acquiring a greyhound when we retired has made us get up, get out and expand our social circle. Not long after retiring we moved to a new home in the area, nearer to the local town. On our walks we have discovered many new places. We have walked regularly for many years and the pleasure of discovering something new and different is immensely satisfying. Walking allows you to discover these places.
We have met so many lovely people during our dog walks. Some we see frequently to say hello to, some we stop and catch up on our dog's vagaries and problems (as well as our own). Some, old and young, have become wonderful friends and dogsitters!

I love it. I forgot to mention the people you meet along the way!
And that having dogs means you always have to get out walking, even if you don't feel like it or have time.
