Simon Jones Writing & Walking

Name: Simon Jones Writing & Walking
Address: GB

Welcome

Welcome to Simon's Writing & Walking. I am a writer and I blog about my 2 passions. Contemplative prayer and long distance walking. Years of going on retreats have fuelled my interest in contemplative spirituality. And since moving to Wales I have grown more and more interested in long distance walking. I am currently walking the Welsh Coast Path in stages. My hope is that this site will help me to share something of my own journey with you as well as enable me to interact more with your journey too.
