Hi! My name is Pete Collins, welcome to my web site!
(since 20/03/07)
Here you can read my journals about the long-distance paths that I have walked. These have mainly been in the northern Home Counties of southern England, walks such as the Chiltern Way, the Hertfordshire Way and the Greensand Ridge Walk - I have usually done these as a series of day walks. I have also done one or two long-distance paths a bit further afield, such as the Cumbria Way and A Dales Walk, which I have walked end-to-end on successive days. I have also created an unofficial long-distance path of my own, the Chiltern Chain Walk. Each journal contains descriptions of my walks, photographs and maps of the route (courtesy of Google Maps). There are also small sections of walks in the Lake District and in the Chiltern Hills (where I live).
I also have a collection of photographs of birds, wildflowers and butterflies, many of which I've seen on my walks (my journals also contain links to these photos).
You might want to read the 'About my journals' page before looking at the journals - it gives some background and has some notes on navigating through the journals (although that should be self-explanatory). You can also read 'About Me' and 'About my walks', if you are curious.
At the top of this Home page is a link to a page where you can see my latest news - it will usually tell you what long-distance path I am currently walking, or which one I intend to walk next. The same page also has a Site History, so you can check if anything has been added since you last visited this site. For the very latest information on what I'm up to, see my blog.
If you have any comments or suggestions about this site, you can email me via the 'Contact me' link at the top of this page. Or you can add a message in my 'Guestbook' - again the link is at the top of this page.
I am not sponsored on my walks, but if you enjoy visiting this site I would be very grateful if you would please consider making a donation to the Huntington's Disease Association (to make an online donation, click on the white button at the bottom of their home page). I have chosen to support this particular charity because the family of one of my closest friends is afflicted with this incurable and hereditary disease. Thank you very much.
