Walk This Way - discovering Long Distance Paths of the UK

About Walk This Way - discovering Long Distance Paths of the UK

Podcasts about the joy of walking an official long distance path (LDP) in the UK. From the planning and scheduling to the discovery of some hidden treats and secrets about the British countryside. I'm planning to walk a self-contained LDP in each of the 38 English Counties. Oxfordshire, Essex and Bucks have already been walked. The first series of this podcast covers the Warwickshire (Centenary) Way walked in 2021 and series 2 covers the Worcestershire Way. So 'walk this way' as you discover lots about the British countryside and hopefully it will inspire you to get out the OS maps and walking boots and explore the great British countryside for yourself!Follow us on: https://www.facebook.com/longweekendersinfohttps://www.instagram.com/longweekenderinfo/https://twitter.com/LongWeekendersYoutube search for Longweekenders #walkthisway Theme music by Rockabye Baby. https://www.youtube.com/user/RockabyeBabyMusic1
