Not sure if anyone are reading these, but here I am - trillian: hiker, gardener, nature-and-science-interested person in general. I’m located in Scandinavia, owned by cats and a dog and can usually be found studying plants in the garden and the forest round the house or hiking some trail.
Welcome trillian! How well marked are the trails around you? When traveling it’s amazing the variation between blazes every 20 feet or just a sign at intersections.
Quite well on established trails! Usually a blaze is visible as soon you’ve passed the last one, though there are variations.
