This hike has hit the media!
My local paper, the Bucks Examiner, featured my walk – unfortunately it’s not available on line, but if you’ve got good eyesight, you should be able to read the text in the photo!
The walk was also covered in the local press in Otley, Yorkshire, which is my original home town. You can read all about it by clicking here..
