Description
For series 4 of my podcast about long distance paths and walking in the UK, I tackle the Gloucestershire Way in the Spring/Summer of 2022. A 100 mile walk through the beautiful English countryside. This episode features details of the logistics for the walk, arriving at Chepstow (including a fine cooked breakfast and a castle) then the 13 mile walk to Parkend in the Forest of Dean.   I'm trying to complete a self contained LDP in each of the 38 counties of England. Gloucestershire is my 7th 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.visitdeanwye.co.uk/things-to-do/walking/walking-routes/the-gloucestershire-way https://www.facebook.com/Firstclasscafechepstow/ https://cadw.gov.wales/visit/places-to-visit/chepstow-castle https://www.thefountaininn.info/ See video of the walk on my youtube channel : https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL43f8V6nnyQCwZuHN4aCaXdNNp1S93w5r 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.
