Out and about
with the Bolderos

Joy & Charles Boldero are keen walkers, having walked many of the long distance and shorter paths in Britain.

They retired to Norfolk in 1983 because the county still had the rural countryside many other counties had lost. Since then they have written a walk book for North Norfolk District Council, walk leaflets for Broadland District Council and Norfolk County Council.

They have compiled walks for magazines, 'Your Dog' and 'Out & About' and wrote the 16 walks in the AA Leisure Guide to East Anglia. They started writing walk articles for the Eastern Daily Press in October 1986, then a monthly walk.

In February 1993 they started to write the walks weekly. They cover the whole of Norfolk and parts of Suffolk and Cambridgeshire for these walk articles.

Charles is the map organiser and photographer and Joy the writer. What they have found most enjoyable in writing the walks are the Interest Points, and to help them they have a wide range of books and files of snippets to help them.

In 1990 they decided to publish their first walk book, this was very popular and now they have eight Walk books, and one Cycle book. All these they publish and distribute themselves.

From time to time charities ask them to provide routes for charity walks and this they are very pleased to do. They have no wish to be 'up front' but more than happy to help charities behind the scenes.
