We set off on our journey to York a little later than we had planned, stopping off at the Denby Pottery visitor centre with a view to having lunch. The food portions were very large and the choices did’t fit what we had in mind for a light snack so we opted to carry on [...]

I have today completed that pledge and have walked 1000 miles from the 1st March – [...]
