BBC Radio 4 - Ramblings, To the World's End, north Wales

Clare walks with two very different characters in the Eglwyseg Valley, Denbighshire.

Guy Kennaway and Hussein Sharif tell Clare about getting to know each other on a stop-start walking adventure. It took them over two years to walk 40 miles.

Clare hikes through the Eglwyseg Valley in north Wales with two very different characters:  Guy Kennaway and Hussein Sharif.   The two men became family when Guy’s son married Hussein’s sister.  Guy wanted to get to know Hussein better and show him a different side of Britain, so he suggested they go on a long walk. A book followed, ‘Foot Notes’, which describes both the adventure they had attempting to hike forty miles and their developing understanding of each other’s lives and experiences.    

Clare, Guy and Hussein walked for around three sodden, sleety miles through the Eglwyseg Valley to World's End at Grid Reference SJ229479
