Story

I have always thought how wonderful it would be to walk the coastline from my home county of Kent all the way to Cornwall.

But  as I suffer from M.E. and have a young family this isn't the easiest of tasks to undertake. So instead of walking I will be kick scooting and breaking it down into segments. 

Each segment will be around 25 miles or so. I cannot manage consecutive days of scooting as even though the scooter is electric it still takes quite a toll on the body. I plan to cover the Kent coast over a number of days out being dropped where I finished last time and picked up once I have travelled as far as I can manage. 

Once we get beyond being able to travel home I will have to arrange family trips fit in with school holidays and my husbands work commitments, so do bear with me, this may take some time!

It will be an epic adventure, but I cannot wait to see every inch of that coast line!


Please help us to support people with ME and their families.ME (Myalgic Encephalopathy), or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, blights the lives of 250,000 people in UK today. The smallest exertion can floor them; their joints and muscles ache unbearably; restful sleep eludes them; and ‘brain fog’ clouds their thinking. It changes lives drastically – disrupting study; making work impossible; and straining family relations to breaking point. Many sufferers cannot leave their homes. There is no known cure. Please help us to help them.
