The original LEJOG blogger – Mark Moxon – is our guest in episode 1. The man behind landsendjohnogroats.info undertook his walk back in 2003, clocking up 1,111 miles in 70 days. As we follow Mark north from Land's End we chat blisters, hear about an early trail low point (with tears) and an early highlight in Helston (with beers). Mark tells us why he can't get enough of river walking (especially along the River Severn) but why he's no fan of moors (not least on his nemesis, the Pennine Way). For Mark, the walk broke down into three sections: "In part one I was getting fit; in part three I was fit; and in part three my body was breaking down." Despite blister issues on day 70, Mark recalls the walk as an adventure of a lifetime, and leaves us with a moving tribute to his friend and fellow LEJOGger Barry, who he met cursing the Somerset Levels in Street, and who keeps popping up in a vibrant narrative threaded with an abiding love for the British countryside.
