My Journey

I am hoping to walk from village to town to city around the perimeter of Great Britain. As I aim to walk on average 10 miles a day, I will take about a year to do this. I will make sure that I walk in safe and populated areas. There will be some isolated areas such as farms and green land. I will try to keep these routes short. I aim to walk about 2500 miles. I would like to see as many people as possible. This way I can hopefully raise more funds. As I have never attempted such a long walk before, I have no idea how often there will be need for me to have a break. I will take each day as it comes.
