I know ‘my’ #river a little better now. In August, over two legs, I became the first person* to walk/run - completely #barefoot - the entire length of the River Tone, Somerset, from source to mouth (53m). I’m still processing the whole thing, and an academic paper is in the making, but I wanted to thank a few (unbeknownst) inspirations that led to this:

Oh, these words. Hearing these words on the banks of an English river, reverberated. Made me feel there is hope in these lands, with a return to our #rivers. The @exetidelines team did the most amazing job today, welcoming back and honouring our salmon-brothers and sisters, sea to moor. A privilege and honour to run beside them. #salmonrun #exmoor #somerset #riverbarle #riverex #barefootrunning
