Author, Rambler and access campaigner Jack Cornish walked LEJOG in 2017, clocking up 1,550 miles over 82 days. Unlike most LEJOGers, Jack didn't prioritise efficiency or even scenic beauty. Instead he put pins in a map, then crafted a route that linked them all – even if it did zig-zag across the country, from Liverpool to Sheffield, Allonby to Newcastle... In this episode, we chat about Jack's formative walking experiences in his home city of London; we consider the magic of the wooded Wye Valley; we reflect on the end-of-day importance of jeans and T-shirt; we discuss the misery of the Somerset Levels (again); and we learn why Colman's Mustard is a must-have in the long-distance walker's backpack.
