I came to Scotland on the 13th June to take up a position as a seasonal ranger with Loch Lomond & the Trossachs National park.

Damian Hall was setting the fastest known time on the South West Coast Path around the time I first laced up a pair of running shoes. As a Devon native his exploits on that epic 10 day 15 hours and 18 minute run caught my attention and began my interest in one day becoming an… Continue reading Damian Hall interview
