About the Guide:
Gemma Purkiss is a designer, illustrator, and passionate walker, finding inspiration and problem-solving on dirt paths. Her adventures have evolved into creating short and long-distance walking guides, featuring first-hand accounts, photography, and playful illustrations.
Gemma is the author of Wonders & Wanderings, a 112-page guide designed for those looking to embark on their own walking adventure. The book is divided into two sections, covering both the practical experience of walking The Pilgrims’ Way and offering guidance on training, strengthening, and packing for a long walk. Copies will be available to purchase at Westwell.
Accessibility:
There is one stile to get over, and the terrain ranges from road walking to dirt paths. The route features a gentle uphill walk followed by a wonderful downhill stretch back to Westwell.
Join us for a day of exploration, storytelling, and wine in the company of fellow walking enthusiasts!
