Map of the route – Uxbridge to Moor Park<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It was a grey January morning when I set off on my first hike of 2013. \u00a0There was a threat of rain in the air and the slightest hint of a hangover in my head.<\/p>\n

I reached Uxbridge at 11am, purchased a ham and cheese panini\u00a0from a cafe and soon found myself on the tow path walking north towards the Moor Park, some 10 miles distant.<\/p>\n

I had decided on an experiment for this hike, I’d tell the story of the walk in video and photos, so please sit back and enjoy the show.<\/p>\n
