INN THE NEWS...
Million stride man Walks On
Release courtesy of Welcome to Yorkshire
After a decade in which he has walked halfway around the world, one of Yorkshire’s most famous outdoor enthusiasts, Mark Reid, was contemplating a future rooted to the spot after his boot manufacturer stopped making his favourite footwear.
Reid, a modern day Alfred Wainwright, author of the successful Inn Way series of guidebooks and Welcome to Yorkshire Patron, has clocked up 24.5 million strides in the last 10 years but all that was about to come to an end.
His giant size 14 feet meant he couldn’t buy new boots in outdoor shops so when his last boot supplier stopped making his size in the style he has worn for several years his walking days suddenly looked limited.
That was until Yorkshire bootmaker Alt-Berg heard about Reid’s predicament and stepped in to save the day.
“My boots are the most important part of my walking gear as I’ll make over 22,000 strides on a 10-mile walk, so they have to be comfortable and able to withstand the rigours of the Yorkshire terrain.” explained Reid, who goes through a pair of walking boots every 18 months.
“Every year I take hundreds of people out walking in the Yorkshire Dales or teaching them map skills, and I’m often asked about clothing and gear, so now I’ll be able to recommend a pair of boots from a Yorkshire manufacturer by pointing at my feet!” added Mark.
Alt-Berg is Britain’s last remaining boot manufacturer and coincidentally are based in Richmond on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales close to where Reid spends much of his working life.
Luckily for Reid they make boots in five widths and can cater for giant striders like him with shoe sizes that stretch to 14.
Reid’s faithful dog Elvis [pictured] is the first to appreciate his owners new boots, it means he doesn’t miss his daily walkies.

ITV WALK - Breath of Fresh Air
ITV WALK - Breath of Fresh Air
with Mark Reid & Jon Mitchell
We filmed our latest ITV Yorkshire walk this week, around the beautiful valleys of the Yorkshire Wolds. We started at the village of Thixendale, and then followed the Wolds Way to Wharram Percy via Water Dale, Back Dale and Deep Dale. After exploring this fascinating deserted medieval village, we followed the Centenary Way back via Court Dale.
These dry, grassy valleys are supremely beautiful and wonderfully quiet, whilst the Cross Keys at Thixendale at the end of the walk was wonderfully warm with its log fire.
This walk will be shown on ITV Yorkshire at 6pm this Friday, 20th January 2012.

Tripsdale, North York Moors
Northern Echo walk
Tripsdale, North York Moors
Went out for a superb winter's walk yesterday to secluded Tripsdale, a side-valley off Bilsdale near Chop Gate.
From Chop Gate, a brisk climb leads up from William Beck Farm onto Nab Ridge, where they were burning the heather. From there, a tracks leads along the ridge before descending past the Bride Stones then round into hidden Tripsdale. This is a superb and dramatic valley, with crags and cliffs, thick woodland and a vast expanse of heather moorland. The setting sun was particularly good from the top of this moorland, with a classic Mackerel Sky (not long dry), as proved to be the case.
To view this walk in the Northern Echo, click here (available to view between 19th & 26th January 2012). www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/leisure/mindbodysoul/walks/

Wensleydale, Yorkshire Dales
Boots and Beer Walking Festival last weekend, with the Yorkshire Dales at their blustery best!
400 walkers, 15 superb walks and 20 great pubs.
13 out of the 15 walks were self-guided with checkpoints (and pubs) along the way (all of the routes were researched by me). I took a guided walk on a 'moorland navigation day' on Friday up onto Drumaldrace and then I took another group over Great Shunner Fell to the Farmers Arms at Muker on Saturday. Roll on next year!
