This was really interesting to read Rachel. I walk to make images but approach things in a very different way to you. I tend to research before I walk somewhere, both in terms of where I can walk but also stuff about the area and the land. It's an iterative process - a bit of research, walking which generates lots of questions, more research and re-walking. I love it how our brains/thought processes are all so different ....
It is great how we approach processes differently. For me, the research tends to come afterwards. I am often blown away by how other walkers, writers, artists talk of similar feelings or experiences. Like you though, I do walk in the same places often and notice new things each time which elicits more questions, especially walking the same paths through different seasons.
