Walkers planning to tackle the Pennine Way this summer can follow the progress and thoughts of two Country Walking prize winners who are walking the granddaddy of British long distance paths.

Walking buddies Richard Lockett and his mate Ash are hiking the 268-mile national trail as a way of cementing their friendship before Ash moves to Australia.
"This would be a fitting way for Ash to start his journey, and for the bond of our friendship to be secured," says Richard. "We’ve been walking together for years, and know that nothing matters more than having friends to share the journey ahead with."
