Conceived during lockdown, the walk can be split into seven more manageable chunks. As Phil admiited on stage at the night of the awards, even he hasn't walked it all in one go! It follows public footpaths and short road sections to connect nature reserves, green spaces, and historic villages as well as showcasing diverse landscapes, all with the aim of encoraging more people out into the countryside to enjoy nature. Phil hopes this will be a blueprint for other locations to do something similar. As the awards came to a close he spoke to BBC Radio KEnt's Will Roffey.
