  On 26 April 2008, 41-year-old Carole Loader embarked on an amazing journey; to run from Land's End to John O'Groats on her own - a distance well in excess of 1,000 miles. Not having the luxury of company or aid from a support crew, she had to carry everything she required in a backpack. The ten-week journey pushed her mental and physical boundaries and took her along quiet country lanes, bridleways and long-distance footpaths. In the process she raised a substantial amount of money for charity (GBP6,000 for Cancer Research UK and GBP4,800 for The Paul Seal Trust Fund - raising money for a young man from Bournemouth, paralysed from the neck down in a surfing accident). Where Does That Footpath Lead? is her account of that incredible adventure. Based on the diary she kept at the time, it tells of the people she met and the sights and sounds she encountered along the way. The accompanying pictures provide a vivid illustration of the wonderful and diverse countryside of England and Scotland she travelled through.
