For those of you who have asked about the 300 miles walk in September 2015 for a rough outline please click here or look at the image below. I’ll be blogging en route (e.g Day 1 twisted ankle, caught bus, went home) when I can get wifi. I am walking between the start at The Strathmore Arms at Holwick near Middleton-in-Teesdale and the finish at The Strathmore Arms in St Paul’s Walden near Hitchin – the only pubs of that name in England.
And to all who’ve asked…yes I have read The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry – it would have been a good story if he’d have visited more pubs and breweries.
Would love to join you at some point near here. I guess you already have a bed for the night in Burton!!

What’s this Ian, are you planning a walk without us?

Two other retired/semi-retired gentlemen are joining me on part of the walk so you would be very welcome. Go on retire now…

having had my annual assessment review today I’m very tempted. It’s clear to me that what I’m good at – teaching – is no longer of any use at a university. Retirement is on hold till the French authorities incorporate my UK contributions, but once this is done I should be able to retire this academic year. Will keep you informed. All the best for your brewery research.

The route seems to take you across the A47 at about Morcott (Oakam-Oundle) which is not far from us. I think we can manage 4 beds if Ian does the breakfast and I may even join you on part of the walk.
