A couple of days ago a local lady member of the #walk1000miles challenge led a fascinating history walk around Telford Town Park and beyond, not to mention the secret watery delights hidden just out of sight.
I enjoyed meeting my fellow Badgers (participants of the #walk1000miles challenge) and it was an added bonus to have a [...]

Walk 1000 Miles
Today is the day! I completed 1000 miles walking in 2019
