David Kirby is raising money for Dementia UK
In memory of Eric Kirby

Ten day monster hike · 4 June 2025

Dementia UK is the specialist dementia nurse charity. Our nurses, called Admiral Nurses – who we continually support and develop – provide life-changing care for families affected by all forms of dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease.

Story

Join Chonky on his third challenge, trekking all the way from the south coast to his home in north Derbyshire or more accurately the pub just down the road ( The Pickled Pear, Palterton).

This one will be faster, and tougher snaking through the New Forest, Salisbury plain, The Cotswold's, weaving around Coventry, Leicester, Nottingham and Derby.

The hiking apps suggested 17 days for this trek, but they don't know how determined Chonky is and he's decided to do it in 10 !!!

As always Chonky will post the lot, the good, the bad, the highs and lows of which there will be several as he has to push through some 30 mile days.
