Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Right then-it’s cap in hand time…
My charity walk to Margate takes me by way of (each place listed below at the end of each day):
May 22nd Salisbury (32 miles)
23rd Winchester (56 miles)
24th Alton (73 miles)
25th Guildford (94 miles)
26th Caterham (120 miles)
27th Vigo (140 miles)
28th Hollingbourne (160 miles)
29th Canterbury (182 miles)
30th Margate (208 miles)
My longest day by far is day 1 at 33 miles, but I’m being kind to myself for the rest, with roughly 20 miles a day, following the Clarendon way, Roman road to Winchester, and then the Pilgrims/North Downs way to Canterbury. Then it’ll be North to the coast and along to Margate.
Why Margate? Well, my cousin met me at the end of my London walk (where I inhaled a pint of London Pride and then broke down in tears 😂) and she now lives there…
Total distance 208 miles, and 14 Ordnance Survey maps.
The charity I will be fundraising for is BadCo, an organisation that provides early intervention and support for those at risk of serious harm and suicide.
If I can save one life by walking to the far East of Kent, the whole thing will have been beyond worthwhile. I’ve also got the bug for long-distance walks..
