    Story

    DONE! Reached John o Groats on the 12th of May - been slowly making my way south since.

    Over £1100 raised*
    1050 miles covered in total
    walked over 700 miles
    140ish days
    60 nights out
    35kg backpack
    3 snowstorms
    2 pairs of boots
    1 frozen shoulder
    and a partridge in a pear tree

    I've seen some incredible goodness in people, had some wonderful help.

    On the flip side I've been shunned because of the way I look and what I'm carrying.

    And I've seen how incredibly quickly that opinion changes when people hear "I'm not actually homeless, I'm doing it for charity."

    I've had dozens of blisters.

    I've drawn blood from my shoulders where the old Bergen rubbed.

    I've worn 4cm off the end of my walking staff.

    I've spent all of my savings on food and upgrading kit as I've needed to (near hypothermia in Wiltshire because the jackets not good enough? No chance in Scotland).

    I've spent quite a few nights where I've got up in the morning and the groundwater has still been frozen.

    I've really struggled to leave the warmth of friends places knowing that I've got cold and solitude coming up.

    If there's any money you can donate to help get people off the street and out of a situation that can leave you feeling completely hopeless, then please do - it is more appreciated than you know ❤️

      I try to keep everyone up to date with where I've got to and how I'm getting on, on Facebook. The page is open to everyone whether you're on Facebook or not and I've all sorts of pictures showing just how astoundingly beautiful this country is! https://m.facebook.com/TheWanderingGent/ If you're able to like and share either this page or the Facebook that would be a wonderful help in spreading the word and hopefully raising more to help! Thank you! ❤️

    There are 4.5 THOUSAND people sleeping rough on the street every night across the UK. I almost became one of them at 19 when my mother died. Because I had help I was able to avoid that, now I'm trying to help as many people as possible out of that situation.
