As I embark on the journey of walking the South West Coast Path, I can't help but feel a mix of emotions. On one hand, I'm excited for the challenge and the opportunity to explore some of the most beautiful coastline in the UK. On the other hand, I'm overwhelmed by the weight of the reason behind my journey. Last year, my father died suddenly of a heart attack, leaving me and my family devastated.

As I walk this path, I am doing it in memory of my dad. I know that this won't be an easy journey, but I'm ready for it. And I know that when I reach the end of the South West Coast Path, I'll not only have accomplished something great, but I'll have done it in memory of a person who meant so much to me.
