Jack Cornish is head of paths at the Ramblers Association,
Britain's largest walking charity. In 2017, he walked across the
country from Land's End to John O'Groats, and he has dedicated the
last seven years of his life to walking and recording the forgotten
routes of England and Wales. He is ten years into an attempt to
walk every street in London, where he lives.
