Join Chris Grogan for an entertaining, illustrated talk about how a Dales farm girl who thought hikers were nuts came to co-devise a popular long distance walk.
In 2007 Chris and her husband Tony set off to walk from Saltaire to Appleby-in-Westmorland following what is now A Dales High Way. Ten years on this challenging route is attracting walkers from all over the world.
