Story

Hello there.

You may have heard that in 2020, the world experienced a global pandemic.  As a result of this my life got flipped, turned upside down.  No more traveling with work, no more going to the office and much more time at home.  So... I put on my walking boots and started going out for evening hikes as something to do.

Later in 2020, as holidays were not really possible, I decided to walk from my house to Chichester (approx 100 miles) over a few days.  I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Anyway, enough of this, I needed a challenge to get me off my backside again this year and, on Saturday 19th June, I will walk part of the Pilgrims' Way from Wye to Dover (35 miles or 55km).  I will walk from Wye to Canterbury (15 miles [home of the famous Cathedral and infamous murder of Archbishop Thomas Becket]).  From Canterbury, I will head to Dover (a further 20 miles away).  35 miles in a day...  The furthest I think I will ever have walked in a day.

Honestly, I am doing this as a personal challenge but it would be great if I could also raise some cash for this great charity.  If you can spare a few pennies then I would appreciate the support... (My mate Joe will be joining me).

Wish us luck!
