WHAT? WALKING AGAIN? In this weather? In Wales?

Sunny!  In Wales!

Yes - but this is the best bit - and it's going to get sunnier!

Do join me if you can.  Never mind watching the Olympics, we all need more exercise!

Starting this Saturday (4 August) I'll be doing the rest of the brilliant Offa's Dyke Path from Montgomery to the Wye Valley and Chepstow - then over the Severn Bridge and SW to Cheddar Gorge - finishing on Sunday 19 August.

(For more information, details of the route and stages, please click on the "Andante Info" tab above and then scroll down.)

It's going to be a superb fortnight and I really would welcome as much company as possible!  Lots of nice pubs along the way, interesting places to see, stunning scenery - and all in a very good cause - raising money for musical charities and research into music education!  Please contact me (07974 698265) if you can possibly join me for a day or two.

(Please email me with comments and ideas about music education in the UK - what is right with it, what is wrong with it and how we can improve it.)
