The Journey: winter 23
Hello …and a very warm welcome to the winter issue of The Journey. The final few months of 2022 seemed to gallop by, and suddenly here we are, well past the December solstice and enjoying the tail-end of winter as the days start to lengthen and spring starts to unfurl its first green tendrils.
What are your plans for the year ahead? You’ll find plenty of ideas and inspiration for 2023 trips in the following pages, whether you’re keen on disappearing into the fells of the Lake District or losing yourself in the streets of Bristol and Bath. We also take a look at some of the many superb attractions offered by English Heritage. How many can you chalk off in the months to come?
Elsewhere we meet hiking advocate Maxwell Ayamba, look at how you can make a difference when you’re out on the trail, and take a close peer at the urban wildlife that’s never far away in the city. There’s also space for the usual news and reviews, as well as Let’s Go!, our special pull-out kids’ section. Happy New Year — and here’s to the adventures that lie ahead.
