Dec 8, 2023 | shegetsaround.co.uk | Jose Walbank

It’s here! The ‘big hike’ I have been talking about for months is finally out there in the public. Introducing… ‘A Walk In The Parks‘ I’ve had people trying to guess what ‘the big hike’ is and no one has guessed it, probably because this is a hike of my own making.
