BOOK LAUNCH: THE WOMAN WHO WALKED THROUGH FEAR – Walking the Pilgrims’ Way
I had the most amazing experience walking the Pilgrims’ Way from Winchester Cathedral to Canterbury Cathedral eighteen months ago. I was delighted to be able to launch my book “The Woman Who Walked Through Fear” about the experience of my pilgrimage and my recovery from alcoholism on 25th May. Set out below are some of…

THE SOUTH DOWNS WAY: Alfriston to Eastbourne Section
SOUTH DOWNS WAY: Alfriston to Eastbourne The mist was just clearing above the beautiful Fourteenth Century Alfriston Church as I set off for my final section of the South Downs Way. The route follows the River Cuckmore as it wends its way via ever wider and wider meanders down to the sea at the start of…
THE SOUTH DOWNS WAY: Kingston-near-Lewes to Alfriston
DAY EIGHT Kingston near Lewes to Alfriston A misty and dreary morning accompanied my trek back on to the SDW from Kingston near Lewes. The first hour of walking was hard and miserable.

THE SOUTH DOWNS WAY: Washington to Upper Beeding
DAY 6: WASHINGTON TO UPPER BEEDING I broke my fast early and with the exception of a few timid pheasants cut a solitary figure making my now familiar daily climb up to the top of the escarpment. I was drawing ever closer to the outskirts of Brighton and my thoughts were constantly pulled towards…
THE SOUTH DOWNS WAY: Amberley to Washington Section
DAY 5: Amberley to Washington Just a short 7 mile stretch across the crest of the Downs this morning – but the climb up from Amberley was surprisingly tiring. There were several people starting off from the top of the lane where the SDW crosses south of the village and they all seemed to be way…
