Alexandra's walking challenge review

“I wasn’t a big walker before I met Faye. My first walk was joining her walking group for a Boxing Day stomp and boy did I love it.  The nature, the views, the company and not forgetting the pit stops, were all fabulous while we shared stories and put the world to rights.  

I also took time to walk quietly alone and to just breathe and observe the wonderful surroundings.  Since this time we have walked all over the Peak District, ensuring that I took time to exercise and enjoy Faye's insightful and inspiring company.

I was so inspired to continue with my walking that I went on to buy the gear… some good boots, raincoat and waterproof trousers and not forgetting the all-important backpack.  Food is an important part of any walk with Faye (particularly cake), so a suitable backpack is necessary to transport the sustenance. Last year our group’s Scotland walks culminated in climbing Ben Nevis, a fantastic feeling of completing a personal challenge.

This year I can’t wait to walk with Faye again on her new Kent routes.”
