The road less traveled


Robert Frost wrote an number of works under the eponymous title of the 'Road Less Traveled'. One poem is called ' The Road Not Taken', and the piece ends; 

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I -
I took the 'one less traveled' by,
And that has made all the difference.

This, my fellow runners is perhaps seen to be my approach to route planning.  Does this reflect the adventurer in me?  There is a lot of truth in these words, might I suggest? 

For the record, our Sunday run from Barrowden through Wakerly Woods over Spanoe Airfield and back via the Welland Valley, was perfectly executed, even if there were a lot of nettles!

You will be surprised, might I suggest, that "anonymous" was not me.

However, if the collection was truly eponymous it would have been called "Frost".
And your toponymic orthography needs further work: Spanhoe, Wakerley.
