I made it to the end, Bowness on Solway, 84 miles from Wallsend in Newcastle. Success, route completed in seven days on 2nd October 2025. 101 miles to include all trips to accommodation, pubs and cafes (don't know how I could have done it in only 84!)!!!!!

Thank you to all those who have supported me with best wishes and donations. We are still short of the target but I will continue to seek support for the completion of the challenge

Message at the start was as follows:

In 2025, The Flavel Arts Centre in Dartmouth, Devon, celebrated its 20th anniversary. This cherished venue is the town’s only dedicated arts hub—a vibrant, volunteer-supported community space that offers inclusive and accessible arts, film, and learning opportunities for all ages.

As part of the Flavel Forever campaign, a dedicated trustee has launched the "200 Tors Challenge" to raise £35,000 for essential facility improvements and long-term sustainability. The challenge involves climbing 200 Dartmoor tors by May 2026, with an impressive 98 completed so far!

I am excited to join in on this journey by participating in a personal trek along Hadrian’s Wall—an adventurous 84-mile walk set for September 25th, 2025. At 72 years young, I know this will be a challenge worth taking on! After completing the South West Coast Path last autumn, I was eager for my next adventure.

You’ll see me walking on Dartmoor, trying to get fit! One day it poured on us but we got to Hookney Tor, just above Grimspound. The next picture shows a much better day, topping out on beautiful Belever Tor.

Supporters are already joining in with their own fundraising efforts. Every donation helps ensure that The Flavel Centre continues to inspire, educate, and connect our community for generations to come. Join us on this journey—whether you choose to walk alongside us, fundraise your own way, or make a donation. Together we can make a difference!
