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 covers day 2 of the walk from Parkend in the Forest of Dean. to Boxbush, a 13 mile stretch of the walk. I'm joined by Andy as we search for wild boars and encounter a sculpture trail, some excited lambs and rolling hills. I'm trying to complete a self contained LDP in each of the 38 counties of England. Gloucestershire is my 7th county.
