The Big Walks – includes FREE Summer Gear Guide
“Don’t forget you don’t have to be terribly ambitious to have big plans” – Guy Procter, editor
As lockdown restrictions begin to loosen and fairer weather beckons, it’s time to start dreaming big again and planning some walks to remember! Country Walking’s new issue is here to fire your imagination with a crash course on Scotland’s spectacular mountains, the stunning Lake District paths climbers tried to keep to themselves, the epic Lyke Wake Walk in the North York Moors and the biggest walk of all – Land’s End to John o’Groats. We’re also recalling some big moments in all our walking lives (and what we learned), a more manageable Three Peaks challenge in Surrey. With walks all over the country and bursting with optimism, it’s the perfect handbook to a happy, healthy, hopeful Spring and Summer!
“And don’t forget you don’t have to be terribly ambitious to have big plans. Big is a relative term. You just have to set an aim that promises to reverse the trend of contracting horizons which restricted times – and in the long run, time itself – seek to impose. It’s not particularly helpful to say ‘life is short’, not just because time is a faulty measure of life’s value, but because it’s not accurate. Time can be mined by experiencing more. And there’s no richer seam – nor sharper set of tools – than a big walk, your two feet and your five senses.” – Guy Procter, editor
