Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I did this walk in June 2016 and trudged through mud, water, pain and the whole night and when I'd finished my first words were " Never Again" but yet 2 months later my feet were itching to start training again so here I am signed up for another 22 odd hours of pain!

This time I'm holding a little competition which involves guessing how many steps I will do over the distance.  I do have a step counter  and  will photograph it at the beginning and the end to show  everyone. There will be prizes for the 3 closest guesses!  If some  clever clogs gets it exactly I'll have a special prize. Just to help -  I usually do approximately 8940 steps for about 4.2 miles and this trek is 64 miles long. Bear in mind at the check points I'll do a few steps walking around so good luck in your maths!! You can either put your guess on your donation info or email me ( rbbenjamin01@gmail.com) with your estimate. I'll let you all know the final total of steps during the week after the walk - depends how fast I can recover!!

See you the other side of this mammoth trek.
