Following the acorn
For university students, the long summer break is a great chance to do some globe-trotting or work to earn some extra cash or valuable experience . But with strict travel restrictions in place, and many businesses not recruiting – this year was a bit different. One student however, decided to look on the bright side and use the time to explore a world-class hiking trail that’s right on the doorstep. Joe Biggins tells us about his experience following the acorn on the South West Coast Path.

Could a self-guided walking holiday be just the ticket?
Normally, the summer holidays are a chance for us to step away from the boring day-to-day and go on a true adventure. A few blissful weeks of less screen time, more green time, where you excitedly set your out of office and head off to explore the great outdoors. But with Covid-19 throwing somewhat of a proverbial spanner in the works, many of us are at a bit of a loss when it comes to holiday plans this year.
