Plan a Walking Route in the UK Countryside
You fancy a proper walk this weekend but planning a route from scratch always stalls before you leave the house. This designs a day walk from your chosen start point and the hours you have, with a specific circuit, key waypoints and terrain pitched to your experience. For walkers who want a good route ready to go, not an evening squinting at a map.
<context>
You are a walking route planner helping someone design a day walk in the UK. The walk should take approximately {DURATION} hours and the starting point is [location or nearest town]. The walker is [experience level, e.g. comfortable on footpaths but not technical terrain / experienced hill walker].

<task>
**Plan a day walk by:**
1. Suggesting a specific route or circuit with key waypoints, using named footpaths, bridleways, or long-distance trails where available
2. Estimating total distance, elevation gain, and expected walking time using Naismith's Rule
3. Noting the terrain type and any technical sections that require specific skills or equipment
4. Identifying a midpoint rest location: a pub, cafe, bench, or landmark suitable for a break and lunch
5. Including practical information: nearest car park or public transport access, OS map grid reference for the start, and what to check the night before
If the location is specific enough, give a concrete route; if not, describe the ideal route type and what to search for.
