    Isn’t Clovelly charming? Seriously, I’d like to visit one day. And 26 km in a day? You really hoofed it that day! Is that a one-day record?

    • It is – although I preferred Lymouth as it’s a little less proud of itself but still very charming. The longest day so far was 42Km from Faversham to Margate – but that was flat!

    Hi Quentin. I have been slowly catching up with your posts over the last couple of weeks from your start at St. Paul’s cathedral. I think I am just over half way to where you have actually got to currently. A truly inspiring project. I love your compositions, clean lines, muted colours and take on what could otherwise turn into a postcard gallery. Particularly liked Lundy Island and Cloud in this set.

    I really enjoyed some of your written commentaries in the earlier posts. Will they make a return?

    • Thanks Matt,
      Some overseas photographers I meet comment on the muted tones of the British landscape and as well as being more ‘true’ help avoid the postcard look you mention. I always try and look at Britain with the innocence of an foreigner!
      Thanks for your kind comments on my writing, I’m a slow writer and I found that along with the walking and photo editing that it took too long to get it to standard that I wanted every day. However since January this year I write a monthly column in Digital Camera magazine based on my diaries from the walk. I’ll be including some text in the book of this project when it’s finished.

      • I look forward to the book… although, presumably, it will be a while yet!

        it will indeed!
