Autorenporträt
Mark Bowden lives in northwest London and is a retired service engineer. For 44 years his work took him around London and the southeast. Sometimes, when driving home on a summer evening from a remote location, he would be enticed by a footpath sign and would park the car to follow the trail for half an hour - vowing to return one day and explore further.For most of that time he was a keen runner, completing fifty half marathons and three full marathons, but long and often unsocial hours made a day out walking a rare pleasure, something he was determined to put right when he retired at the beginning of 2016. Wednesday quickly became the preferred day for his weekly outing.In 2018, a 45 Km charity walk on the South Downs inspired Mark to attempt some of southeast England's long-distance walking routes in day trips. To date, seven have been completed, covering a thousand miles of countryside. Their tale of success, folly, and discovery form the 'Wednesday Wanders' material.
