Hi folks
So, after leaving Minehead on July 8th i have now
finally completed the 630 mile walk around the South West Coast path. I
arrived at South Haven Point in Poole on Thursday 19th August 6 weeks
after setting off from Minehead.
The walk was great, i met some
amazing characters, saw some stunning places and had some really
interesting conversations with both myself and the Cows. The first week
left my feet in pieces and left me thinking that i wasn't up to this.
Gradually my feet recovered and i kept walking through it until they
hardened up and became used to it. My fitness levels constantly
increased and the walking became progressively easier.
Right, so i wanted to say 'THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
Thank
you so much, from the bottom of my heart, for all your donations so
far. With gift aid included the donations amount to almost 1600 pounds
plus i have collections to make having now finished. My target was
around 1000 so i am delighted.
For all of you who were
thinking i wouldn't make it and were waiting till i finished to donate,
well the Justgiving page will be open for about a month still so have a
look at the pictures for proof then get your donations in and lets see
if we can reach 2000.
Please tell your friends about my walk and if they would like to donate then the donation page is www.justgiving.com/jacob-smith
Much love to you all, take me out for a beer soon and i will tell you all about it!!
