Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I'll be raising funds this Summer by walking from Lands'End to John o'Groats - a total distance of 1250 miles. My route will follow some of Britain's wonderful long distance walking routes - The South West Coast trail, Offa's Dyke route, the Pennine Way and West Highland Way - and if all goes to plan, a detour into Snowdonia to visit 'home' and climb a mountain or two.

Starting at Easter 2022, my walk  will take over three months to complete. I'm a keen walker but have never attempted something like this or anything resembling this distance before. I'm being joined at certain stages by family and friends but I'll be walking 'unsupported' - carrying all my gear from beginning to end. 

I intend to keep everyone up to date with my progress with news of any highs and lows and hopefully not too many accounts of bruises and blisters along the way.

From the stunning shores of Dorset, Sussex and Kent to the unpredictable tidal Thames, our coastlines are enjoyed by millions of people from across the country every year. The sea remains an unpredictable environment that can catch people out. People will always need the RNLI's help and it will always be there to answer that call.
