I'm walking from York to Battle (near Hastings) in October, commemorating the 960th anniversaries of the battles of Fulford Gate, Stamford Bridge, and of course - Hastings. I start from York on Thursday 1st October and arrive in Battle (with any luck) on the evening of Tuesday 13th, with Saturday 10th as a day off, in London. I've arranged it myself and will be walking alone (though companions are welcome), staying in hotels and B&Bs on route. I'll be covering all the costs myself, so every penny you donate goes to the charity.

I'm walking in support of St. Helens Mind, a small charity with big impact in my home town, helping people experiencing isolation due to poor mental health. They do wonderful work, and we're lucky to have them.
