We started the first leg of our walk in Chipping Campden on a sunny spring day in late March, just before the nation was plunged into lockdown, which meant that our attempt immediately stalled at Stanton! In early July we resumed the challenge and after a further seven days in the next two months, all chosen for their good weather, we elatedly arrived outside Bath Abbey. What a fantastic walk and thank you to all the rangers, some of whom we met en route, for maintaining the Way. There were too many highlights to mention, but the memories will live on in the log we created. On the way we identified over 120 wild flower species, 40 bird species and 16 butterfly species and met many fellow walkers. We shall probably do the walk again in the opposite direction!
