The "Dales Way" passes through some of the most beautiful scenery in England. The footpath is 84 miles in length and runs from Ilkley to Bowness-on-Windermere. Starting on the banks of the River Wharfe it follows the river upstream, climbs over the top of the watershed of the Pennines, and then winds steadily down the other side passing through the delightful undulating countryside of where we once used to call Westmorland, before finally arriving at the shore of England's largest expanse of inland water. Along the way I will be exploring the places that I visit and delving into the histories of the people who have made their contributions to life in the area throughout the ages. Join me on my journey and discover our rich heritage.

The Macmillan Way is a long distance footpath that was developed to raise public awareness of the charity "Macmillan Cancer Support". The journey starts at Boston in the wide-open flatlands of the fens. After two days of level walking the route travels through the undulating farmlands of Rutland, Leicestershire and Northamptonshire. The path keeps rising as I travel through the glory of the Cotswold Hills before finally crossing the Dorset Downs to the finishing point on the shore at Chesil Beach. During this expedition I will be investigating the places, people and histories that have influenced the locations I visit. From the genius of Isambard Kingdom Brunel to the rules of Dorset Knob Throwing this book will fascinate you from start to finish. All royalties are donated to MacMillan Cancer Support.
