‘Liberating and life-affirming’

‘This year as part of my 1000 I completed my first solo long distance walk, The Dales Way. It was fantastic! Liberating and life-affirming. When I finished I wanted to do it all over again. One piece of advice: join the #walk1000miles Facebook group. It will be a valuable source of inspiration, advice, support and celebration for you – whatever new ground you want to break.’
