I’ll be embarking on a personal trek, walking solo the some of the toughest five stretches of the ‘Salt Path’ along the South West Coastal Path from Port Isaac to St Agnes in just five days. This path, renowned for its challenges, has inspired a book by Raynor Winn and a recent film featuring Gillian Anderson & Jason Isaacs. I aim to cover over 80 kilometres, facing an elevation equivalent to climbing Everest.

As someone who has never attempted a hike of this magnitude before, I am filled with both excitement and apprehension. The thought of blisters, sunburn, cliff edges, and the possibility of being drenched by rain is a worry. Yet, I believe that the sheer beauty of the Salt Path will inspire me to push through to the end.

My chosen charity is Protection Against Stalking (PAS), an organization that holds immense significance for both myself and my partner. Over the past year, PAS has been an incredible support and guiding light for us during challenging times. They provide vital services that can truly be a lifeline for victims of stalking and their families. To learn more about their impactful work, please visit: https://www.protectionagainststalking.org/.

I kindly ask you to consider donating whatever you can; every contribution means the world to us as we strive to reach our target of £500 by September 14th, 2025. Additionally, if anyone has tips on blister protection or hiking advice, please do reach out! Thank you for your support—I’m already looking forward to celebrating with a pint at the finish line!
