With every intent of walking somewhere like Cornwall, I somehow ended up doing The Dales Way in August 2010.
From Ilkley in West Yorkshire, the Dales Way travels through the Yorkshire Dales before finishing up 84 miles later on the wonderful banks of Lake Windermere. It takes in some of England's finest scenery, and is well worth a walk.

It's day one on the Dales Way in which our walker admires a friendly church, is invited to picnic with the Quakers, toot-toots on a steam train and fights the throngs at an old abbey.

Day two of the Dales Way sees a church with no tower, rain and a Bods arriving far too early to be started by scarecrows.

Day three sees more river, even more river, heat, rain, mud and the Pennine Way. Oh some sights truly to behold.

You could fly all over to 'see the world'. But you'll be missing out.
So if you've been inspired to head off on to the Dales Way, what information do you need to know? Well let me tell you.

If you're after hiking, beer, viaducts and rivers, Doing the Dales Way is the e-book for you as one man heads to the hills to walk from Ilkley to Windermere on the Dales Way. Why? Well why not?
