In June, as part of this year’s celebrations, I shall be walking my 50-year-old knees up and over Exmoor from Nether Stowey to Lynmouth, accompanied by the most excellent and equally-determined Cate. We will complete the 51-mile Coleridge Way in two days - over hill and dale, along rivers and out to the coast, raising funds for Parkinson’s UK. I am dedicating this walk to my brother Matt, recently diagnosed with Parkinson's, whose ongoing strength, resilience and kindness in face of all that life has thrown at him is a source of great inspiration to me. Cate and I would like to raise a sum that makes a difference to those affected by Parkinson’s, and any contribution you might be able to make will help propel us along the way!
