If they've not instantly leaped in a car, hailed a cab or run to the train station, then chances are that they're doing the Dales Way.
Andrew Bowden was one such person. And this is his tale.
Andrew Bowden was born and raised in Manchester and spent much of his early years being dragged around Etherow Country Park a few miles from his parents house. After abandoning hiking in his teenage years in favour of spending far too much time in front of computer games, he returned to the hills after settling in London.
He has walked far more trails than he'd like to admit to.
