Next month, I’ll be heading north to walk 73 miles across the Lake District, following the Cumbria Way. This will be my first long-distance walk since completing the Cleveland Way in 2021. As before; I’ll be carrying all of my kit and camping along the way!

I live in Weston-super-Mare, close to the Mendip Hills in Somerset and I enjoy time spent outdoors, whether that's walking, camping or backpacking. My day job involved making furniture from recycled wood (I'm a furniture maker and carpenter by trade).
I have two blogs:

Walks With Olly (walking, camping and kit)
You can also find me on YouTube, Twitter and Facebook. My second YouTube channel is titled 'Walks with Olly'.
