Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Hot on the back of last year’s walk following the Great Western Mainline I am back for another mammoth walk!

Last year’s walk raised an eyewatering £10,707 which was well above my target of £7,500. The generosity of the people that donated and gifted me food, water & accommodation along the way has encouraged me to undertake another mammoth walk!

As with last year’s walk, I will be walking between Every Last Station on the lines that I will be walking. This will obviously mean I won’t be walking the most direct route from the North coast to the South Coast.

Starting In Holyhead I will be following the North Wales Coast Line across the Isle of Anglesey and onwards to Llandudno Junction.

At Llandudno Junction I will then follow the Conwy Valley Line to Blaenau Ffestiniog before swapping National Rail lines to Heritage Railway.

I will follow the Ffestiniog Railway through the Snowdonia National Park and then down to the coast at Porthmadog where I will rejoin the National Rail network and follow the Cambrian Coast Line all the way to Shrewsbury.

From Shrewsbury it will be a short walk along the Marches Line as far as Craven Arms where I will join the Heart of Wales Line.

I will follow the Heart of Wales Line in its entirety to Llanelli where I will then follow the West Wales Line to Carmarthen.

From Carmarthen it will then be the home straight as I walk to Whitland and then follow the Pembroke Dock Branch Line through Tenby and onwards to the finale at Pembroke Dock!
