Don Bates from Chilliwack, BC, Canada writes: My wife and I really enjoyed John's article about walking in Sicily and we share his many feelings about and obvious passion for long-distance walking. In 2005 we walked the 190-mile Coast-to-Coast Walk across Northern England and had the great fortune of meeting up along the way with a group of six Brits and a couple from Houston, Texas. We became great friends with four of the Brits and the Texans and have returned each year since to the UK to walk together as a group. We have done St. Cuthbert's Way, The West Highland Way, The Cotswold Way and last year spent a week in Keswick in the English Lake District doing day walks. Later this month and in June we will be walking the Fife Coastal Path and spending another week in Keswick. Meeting this group of people and walking together has been an almost life-changing event for us and we all hope we enjoy more walks together. Congratulations, John, on your excellent article. We would love to read about more of your walking adventures. Don and Joyce Bates, Chilliwack, BC
