Great to share a platform with @anitasethi.bsky.social @andrewbibby-writer.bsky.social & chair Pam Warhurst.

Authors should _never_ look in bookshops for their titles. That way lies despair. But my eye was nevertheless caught in @waterstones.bsky.social in #York by my latest book peeping out at me. Books by my @gritstonebooks.bsky.social colleagues also on the shelves. Nil desperandum.

Another gem from @chrisgoddardmap.bsky.social. The Yorkshire Coast is an original cartographic guide to walking the 200-mile Path from Teesside to Humberside. Most of this route forms part of the newly-open England Coast Path. With gorgeous hand-drawn maps. gritstonecoop.co.uk/product/the-...

Quietly re-reading an impeccably honest, well-researched and attributable book about a walk from Scotland to England. The Borders - The Land We Share by @andrewbibby-writer.bsky.social is the perfect antidote for those scarred by the #SaltPath revelations. It's fascinating and beautifully written.
