A Walk In The Parks
10 weeks, 10 National Parks and 1000 miles of hiking.
Jen and Cookie the rescue dog, recently did a big adventure, hiking (and canoeing in one park) across all 10 national parks in England.
Born and bred in the Peak District, national parks are my home. As Chair of the Peak District National Park Foundation I understand the urgent need for us to protect our National Parks, whilst enabling more people to experience the benefits a walk in the park brings.
A travel blogger for 13 years and a hiker for life, I am combined two of my favourite things and set off in last year to walk from one border to the opposite border of every National Park in England.
In each park I met with key people to learn more about what makes each National Park special and why we need to protect them. All whilst raising over £20,000 for the Peak District National Park Foundation and other National Parks in England.
Thank you to my main sponsors Alpkit and Komoot and all the places that provided Cookie and I will accommodation and made it all possible. Blogs below sharing more about our adventure.
