In 2013, Daniel Graham and his twin brother, Jake, stepped out of their front door in Bristol, England, and onto the path. Yearning for an experience they would never forget, and with the added incentive of raising money for WaterAid, the brothers traipsed for five months - washing in rivers and sleeping beneath the trees - until eventually, after passing through 3,000 kilometres of Western Europe, they reached the the Mediterranean Sea.

Free Range Maps
The Map Shop, in Upton-upon-Severn, is a beautifully run business. In abundance they possess the two most integral assets for a potential map buyer - maps, of course, and a homely environment more homely than one's home.
Belgium's 1:50 000 topographic maps are unusually illusive; there are said to be no more than 20 remaining in the wild. It, therefore, came as a surprise when we stumbled across the 12 that we needed, all filed neatly away in a box. It will be nothing shy of lovely to get these captive maps out into the wild. On a more selfish note, I have heard that free range maps divulge more.
