After much deliberation and a little coercion - I have decided to take part in the 25km Windsor Ultra Challenge on the 18th April 2026 taking us on a journey through Windsor Great Park, the Thames footpath and surrounding countryside.

As some of you will already know, I spend hours out and about exploring the beautiful North London and Hertfordshire countryside by foot, which has given me much pleasure and enjoyment. Previously Emma and I completed a half marathon (20km) which was a huge achievement for me.

This time, we will push a little further and accompanied by my two daughters Vikki and Alix, complete 25km in aid of Food Bank Aid.

Food Bank Aid is a community-led charity supporting all denominations and demographics based across North London and Hertfordshire and helping around 20,000 people a week by distributing essential food and household goods to various food banks.    

Please wish us luck and follow our progress….which, in my case,  will be very very slow!
