Obviously the answer is land owners and councils keeping footpaths clear
But that won’t happen
Maybe I should take a big stick with me to beat a path?!?!

ride to dentist, mostly out of square  - this 🚲 is instead of 🚘 ,useful for fetch games though it weighs a ton & more if loaded.
Have convinced myself that post sting overnight nettle tingling is good joint therapy, they’re really rampant at the moment.

Last year I started running the North Cheshire Way in stages (had to pause when I hurt my knee - all fine again now).
Large parts of the westward side are just permitted paths around fields; well marked but not footpaths or trails in any way. And several of the paths enter the fields in the corner, where there’s no crop or pasture, just neglected and overgrown.
With nettles. Like 10 meters of them, up to my shorts. It was hopeless to try and dodge them; I tried stamping on them a bit but it was too much, in the end I just embraced them (not literally, I mean accepted them) and let them have me.
Didn’t really hurt. By the end of the run my legs were kind of glowing and they had that numb feeling where you touch part of your body and you can feel it but it doesn’t feel like it’s your skin that’s being touched, more you’ve been told it’s you. Even the next day they were a bit like that.
Didn’t actually hurt though, and only itched in a vague distant way. And I felt well hard

Lol maybe they are therapeutic, like a bee sting, unless you’re allergic. (I’m sad the bee dies, but be useful if nettles did)

Must admit I quite like being stung by nettles, that tingling sensation is strangely pleasant!
