Ranked Walks

In my head I always have in the back of my mind the idea that there are great walks that I must find a way to do again. I have always thought of this as my top five walks, but now that I have about twenty top five walks, the system is starting to break down. 

So here I am just going to list all walks in order of how much I would like to do them again (distances are noted for reference, but note that most of the walks can easily be done in smaller chunks if required).

This mostly just reminds me which to do again, but it might be useful if you are looking for some interesting walks to do.
