About Us

Hi I'm Paul, I took up walking when my ex-partner Nicky rescued her dog, Paco, from the streets of Romania through a charity, Perrera Dogs UK. We had hundreds of lovely walks, and I thought it would be good to share some of the things I've learned along the way. Walking in the countryside is so good for your health, both physically and mentally, so I hope I can inspire you to get out in the countryside.
