Listen now
Description
For series 3 of my podcast about long distance paths and walking in the UK, I tackle the Lambourn Valley Way in Berkshire along with three friends in the summer of 2021. A 20 mile walk through the beautiful English countryside. This episode features the second and final part of the walk from Lambourn to Uffington White Horse and beyond.   Lambourn is called the Valley of the Racehorse,  and so in this episode we find out if my speculative bet on the gee gees pays off, also find out whether we make it to the pub in time for dinner and then back to the campsite before the sun sets. The team also read out the top 15 Berkshire facts. I'm trying to complete a self contained LDP in each of the 38 counties of England. Berkshire was my 6th county. I'm hoping that my podcast series will inspire others in the UK to walk a long distance path (LDP) - there are over 1,500 routes to choose from, check these out via www.ldwa.org.uk for more information Links to things referenced in this episode: https://ldwa.org.uk https://www.wberksramblers.org.uk/information/lambourn-valley-way.html White Horse - https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/visit/oxfordshire-buckinghamshire-berkshire/white-horse-hill The Fox & Hound - dinner stop - https://uffingtonpub.co.uk/ Campsite - http://www.oxfordoakcamping.co.uk/ For more information or to get in touch, please email me at [email protected].               #walkthisway from Longweekenders                     Follow my adventures and see photos of the walks on: https://www.facebook.com/longweekendersinfo https://www.instagram.com/longweekenderinfo https://twitter.com/LongWeekenders Youtube search for Longweekenders #walkthisway  Check out www.ldwa.org.uk for details of long distance paths in the UK.
