My story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On 9th July 2011 I am attempting a 20 mile sponsored walk over Marlborough Downs with Nick Harper [musician, son of Roy Harper] and  Mike Peters [ from band the Alarm fame] with several hundred other people to raise money for the charity Love Hope Strength Foundation [LHSF]. There will be with live music along the way with a musical break at Barbury Castle. In the evening there will be a concert of celebration. For more details please visit their website at :

Here's the blurb :

On July 9th 2011 Avebury, the Ridgeway and the Marlborough Downs will resound to the sound of Rock Music as musicians and walkers take part in a sponsored walk ending at Avebury for a concert.

The event is being organised by the Rotary Clubs of Marlborough and Swindon Thamesdown with the Love Hope Strength Foundation to raise thousands of pounds for Prospect Hospice. The organising committee include members of the two Rotary Clubs, Nick Harper (guitarist), Ian Ritchie (Friends of the Ridgeway), Mike Polack, and Daniel McNally of Prospect Hospice.
Permission to run the event has been obtained from the National Trust, English Heritage and Avebury Parish Council.

The event kicks off early on the Saturday morning with sponsored walkers leaving Avebury on a 20mile journey across Fyfield Down, the Marlborough Downs and returning via the Ridgeway. Musicians Nick Harper, our local professional acoustic guitarist and Mike Peters - lead singer of the Alarm together with other top musicians will accompany the expected hundreds of walkers stopping at points en route for musical interludes. Their equipment will be carried by members of the Territorial Army who will accompany the walk. A lunch time stop will be at Barbury Castle where families and those who want a shorter walk will join in. The remaining six miles will be completed in the afternoon ending in the South East quadrant of the Henge. They will gather here, rest and enjoy some music and once all the walkers have arrived they will move to the Sports field for a Rock Concert from 7pm till 10pm.
It is hoped that up to 800 local people, walkers and supporters of the musicians will attend the evening concert. Families are particularly welcome.

Two dedicated websites are available for potential walkers and concert goers. One is http://aveburyrocks.co.uk [site under construction].And the other  is  http://www.lovehopestrengthfoundation.co.uk/cms/.
Tickets and registration details can be obtained from these sources. Concert tickets will also be available at Sound Knowledge in Marlborough.

Please note that numbers are limited to 500 walkers who will automatically receive a concert ticket and a further 300 tickets will be available for the concert.
