Cumbria Way - 70 miles from Ulverston to Carlisle in Cumbria. Danelaw Way - 60 miles from Lincoln to Stamford. Grand Union Canal Walk - 138 [...]

A solid 8.4 miles on the first day of 2020 with an out-and-back walk from the The Farrier, on the A607 to the west of Grantham, to the Dirty Duck at Woolsthorpe Wharf.With a relatively late start, at 15:00, it was a walk out in daylight and back in the dark; many thanks due to […]

Day 10 of our walk along the Grand Union Canal took us briefly along the main canal from Stoke Bruerne, over Blisworth Tunnel, to Blisworth junction where we branched off in a north easterly direction along the Northampton Arm to the centre of Northampton itself. Being Sunday 13 January daylight was in short supply and […]
As the year draws to an end, I couldn’t have imagined the positive affect Country Walking magazine’s Walk 1000 Miles campaign could have on my life during 2018. In total I logged 945.7 miles, and so didn’t reach the 1000 mile goal, but that doesn’t matter in the slightest. I chose to count only ‘planned’ […]
