The Distance Hiker Episode 33 - Securing the future of our long distance Trails with Julian Gray

Humans of the Trail

Julian is in my opinion an unsung hero of Trails, with his work dedicated to the betterment of our Trail networks.

As the Board Member and Vice Chair of the World Trails Network, Chair of National Trails, and Director of the South West Coast Path Association he is a busy man and a fountain of Trail knowledge.

Julian humbled me with his clarity and level of knowledge on managing and preserving our trails and had a clear vision of a world made better by having access to trails.

I thoroughly enjoyed speaking with Julian and came away from the conversation all the wiser on the sheer complexity of challenges faced by Trail organizations and the work they do.

If you believe in the power of trails to shape communities, offer economic benefits, and make you feel great, then you will enjoy this one.
