"For every mile you walk you extend your life by 21 mins."
2021 - Latest enlarged and updated book more than 100,000 copies sold!
-Hi, and welcome to my walking world.
Walking is the simplest and best way to explore the earth. Through my walking I create short circular walks of about 5 miles, long circular walks of 15 or more miles, day challenge walks of 25 miles, and marathon walks of more than 1,000 miles!
The guides I produce are all my own work - maps, photos and text - all are walked by me and then designed and printed by me.
My aim is simple, to encourage you to walk and explore this remarkable world we live in.
Walking makes you fit in body and mind and extends your life.
So armed with one of my guides you can discover what is on your doorstep or a longer multi-day walk, which will provide a lifetime of memories.
Happy New Year!
and good walking in 2021.
Enjoy safe walking in 2021.
Britains leading walker and author.

2020 - 51st. anniversary of John Merrill's classic 40 mile limestone Dale walk in the Peak District -
THE LIMEY WAY.
Here for the first time are of all my walk guides that I have written. Walking is my way of life and hope my guides bring you to places, exploring Mother Earth, while getting some healthy exercise.
In November 2019 John was surprised to be presented with the Buckeye Trail plaque - 1,310 miles around the state of Ohio, becoming the first person to backpack the route.
The guides are set out in specific geographical areas with a separate section on Pilgrims Ways guidebooks. All books, badges and certificates are usually sent out within 24 hours. We print to order.
Thanks for visiting!!

exerciseMany of you have read my book - "Turn Right at land's End". I am humbled when people write in to say they have read it. One has read it 5 times, but I recently learnt of another who for the last 38 years has read it annually - so far 40 times - quite amazing!
