It was 2007 when I first stepped foot on a long distance path in the UK, and I've been walking them ever since.
Those that I've written about, are listed below.
Created by Alfred Wainwright, this 192 mile route goes from St Bees in Cumbria, to Robin Hoods Bay in North Yorkshire.
Starting in Ulverston in this south, the Cumbria Way snakes north on a 70 mile trip to Carlisle, via some of the best scenery the Lake District has to offer.
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.
Fifty miles of walking through the White Peak in Derbyshire, the Limestone Way runs from Castleton to Rocester with great views and lots of limestone.
The oldest National Trail in Britain, and perhaps the most famous. Linking Edale in Derbyshire with Kirk Yetholm in the Scottish Borders, the Pennine Way is 267 miles of walking in the Pennines and Cheviots.
Covering part of the ancient green path that once connected Dorset and Norfolk, the Ridgeway National Trail is a 87 mile walk across the south of England.
The incredibly beautiful South Downs Way shows just how beautiful the South East of England can be. It's 99 miles between Winchester and Eastbourne are a delight to walk.
Running across the bottom of Scotland, the Southern Upland Way traverses 212 of one of the least populated areas of Britain. It's also Britain's only official coast to coast walking route.
In his Pictorial Guides A. Wainwright described 214 different Lakeland fells, many with several different routes and options. These are my visits to just some of them.
