16.09.2023 - No signal

The place from last night was just great and I very much enjoyed staying there.
After getting up and ready, I tried to take some sunrise pictures but unfortunately the sunrise never really developed. There were too many low clouds which the sun just couldn't penetrate. I did later on manage to take a shot but it's nothing to write home about.

Like in the previous day there were places where I didn't have a signal. When I stopped earlier I didn't have one and in the place I', staying tonight I don't have a signal either. That's good for piece and quiet but bad if there is an emergency. Anyway, I can't change it and I don't fancy to look for another parkup.

When checked my planed route earlier I saw that there are only 744Km left until I get to the south of the Peak District (the official end of my trip) and from there it's only a short days drive to Harwich, where my ferry leaves on the 26th.
But today it's only the 16th, which leave me 9 days for more travelling or not.

After looking at the map and my possibilities, I have two options.
O1: I visit Scotland (again)
O2: I rebook my ferry to an earlier date.

However, in the last few days and especially today was something on my mind. I've been travelling for some time now and even though I've had a few weeks more at home than I wanted, I've been almost 3 months on the road.
What was on my mind is an urge to go home.
It has been a wonderful time, but the need to share my experiences with somebody has become stronger over time. Obviously not this one, but my future once, hopefully.
There is no need to feel sorry for me because it is actually a good development. I wanted and needed to be on my own and now I don't feel that need anymore.
Well, it's not totally gone of course and never will, but the call for solitude has certainly become quieter.

The next two days will bring an answer, I'm sure of it.
