What better guest can there be to talk all things LeJog than Steve Athawes – route advisor for the Land's End to John o'Groats Association – who completed his 1,200-mile, 93 day adventure in 2017? In this amiable rambling chat, we discuss the joys of Dovedale, Blaise Hamlet and the South West Coast Path (alongside the even bigger joy of knowing you're walking while others are working); we hear about Steve's pre-walk training regime – and his return to fitness aged 59, just one year after getting a hip replacement; we consider the unlikely combination of Fish & Chips, beer and weight loss; we learn about the confidence Steve acquired from completing his LeJog; and we reflect on the serendipity of 'trail magic'.
