Wildwalkinguk is a blog run in my spare time, and I pay for its running costs myself. I do have some affiliate links and adverts on the site. If you click on these adverts or links and buy what you need (it doesn’t have to be the item we’ve linked to), the company will pay a small commission to me. This money goes towards the costs of hosting the blog. I would be extremely grateful if you could consider using our links when you next need to buy something from our advertisers. Thank you so much for your support. Mark.
