The Two Saints Way: 92 Miles Across Staffordshire and Cheshire
The Two Saints Way was exactly the adventure I needed.
This five-day hike across Staffordshire and Cheshire wasn't about chasing big miles or proving anything to myself. It was a chance to get back into multi-day hiking, test my gear, carry a heavy pack again and remind my body what it feels like to live out on the trail before I head off on the GR5 this summer.
And honestly? It couldn't have gone much better.
