Your key contacts for Walk1000 Miles
Nick Hallisey, Country Walking Head of Content

Nick has been obsessed with Britain’s wide open spaces since his parents dragged him over the South Downs Way at the age of five and up his first mountain (Catbells) at seven. He’s since climbed quite a lot of hills, and has only twice accidentally climbed the wrong one.
He joined Country Walking magazine in 2007 and was there for the birth of LFTO the following year, and he’s been telling stories about the outdoors ever since.
These days he looks after the beautiful pages of Country Walking, as well as the Walk 1000 Miles challenge. He has also become a born-again trail runner and is on a mission to run up a hill in every UK county – possibly as an act of rebellion against living in the Fens.
Matthew Pike, Country Walking Routes Editor

Matt is not only the Friendliest Person on Planet Earth (we think that’s official) but also an avid outdoor explorer. He's currently in charge of the Country Walking routes section, writes features and news for the magazine and LFTO, and is a key part of the Walk 1000 Miles challenge.
He was part of the original LFTO team back in 2008 and has written countless stories and gear reviews for Country Walking and Trail magazine, as well as working for esteemed organisations such as the Woodland Trust.
