Having recently relocated to the countryside, getting out at weekends to explore my new surroundings is a real high point of my week. On this particular walk, I was accompanied by the lovely Katie McPhillimy of Whizz Kidz, and together, with just the help of some written instructions, we mastered canal paths, gentle inclines, forest tracks and open fields to complete a six-mile circular route from Great Bedwyn train station (with a stop-off and hearty pulled pork bun in the beer garden of The Three Tuns on the way back, of course). A thoroughly enjoyable excursion. Print off the step-by-step we followed, here.
