This is something I have been thinking about doing for ten years now and have finally plucked up the courage to do it before my body completely gives up. I feel like it's now or never and if I don't do it now I will regret it forever. It will most definitely be the hardest thing I have ever done but am looking forward to the challenge.

I plan to set off on 1st August, I estimate it will be about 2000 miles taking into account zig zagging for casual work and lack of navigational skills. I really don't know how long it will take me, it might be three months it might be three years!🤪

Any small donation would be much appreciated, I really don't expect you to break the bank but if I could ask you to share this with everyone you know, friends, family, work colleagues and on all social media (as I deleted all of mine and don't plan to reinstall them) hopefully some billionaires will see it and we can absolutely smash and go beyond the set target.

For anyone feeling extra generous I have also set up a seperate page https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/turneysmidlifecrisis3 to help pay for the essential equipment I need, food parcels along the way and the occasional hostel/campsite as a little treat. You can give to one or the other or in fact both, which ever you prefer, if you can't give for whatever reason a simple morale boosting message for me will actually go a lot further and if you can only give to one I would much rather you gave to Macmillan as I will be using a small inheritance I have received plus all of my worldly savings (£2.67) to fund myself and the solo survival aspect is a major part of my epic journey.

I will have a phone that is reliable and fully functioning by the time I leave and l promise to post photos as often as I can and anyone who wants to meet me at any point on my trek just give me a message and I promise I will get back to you in the evenings as my phone will be off to save battery during the day. Thanking you in advance for your generousity and support. Turney.❤
