My trail companion and daughter Victoria passed away from cancer at the age of 34.

Easter of 2024 Victoria was my trail buddy in appalling weather conditions on the Six Dales Trail. No matter the weather, Victoria always had a warm smile and a keen curiosity of nature. The thumbnail picture , captures one of these moments as she discovers frog spawn on the wall!

Whilst Victoria had appeared in many previous videos but mainly in the background, on this last video Victoria had decided to play a more active role, hence moments like this and many others are captured in the video.

I'm sure you understand that writing this post has been difficult, however, Victoria was insistent that I promised to continue building the channel. it may take me a few weeks before I am standing on a trail again, but I am determined to honour the wishes of my trail companion Victoria. Meanwhile, I hope you enjoy this video and below you will find details of the Six Dales Trail.

The Six Dales Trail explores parts of the Yorkshire Dales that are not often explored by the tourist crowds. On this journey you will discover the delights of Wharfedale, Wasburndale, Nidderdale, Colsterdale, Coverdale, and Wensleydale. Only 38 miles which we completed in two and a half days starting in Otley and finishing in Middleham. Two nights of wild camping were enjoyed and a resupply happen in the delightful village of Pateley Bridge and the oldest sweet shop in England!
