This thread started 13 months ago, when a 17th century feminist I’d never heard of, got in touch via Twitter.

I finally got to explore further, yesterday.

@naturalistdara had sent me a sincere, helpful message whilst I was on my 2019 fundraising Coast to Coast walk.

I’d heard of this valley but never been, only passed by.
Lady Anne’s story is a phenomenal, pioneering tale of fighting discrimination and of outliving those who would do you wrong.

Somewhere between two counties, I saw a tall woman coiling metres of black cable. A volunteer.
I recognised her work. She was volunteering for #B4RN to lay the world’s fastest fibre optic cable in the remotest parts of the north. Because BT can’t be bothered to.
She discreetly checked my boots & asked me if I’d be walking Lady Anne’s Way. Said she was in her eighth decade. ImageImageImage
