Looks great and would like to help out, but I don't have a licence.

That looks a pretty punishing schedule. Are you going to have rest days or spread the miles out evenly over a week?
Not a plus one :wink:

The miles are spread evenly over the week, so no rest days are planned. Saturday will be slightly less walking as I plan to do parkrun in the morning, and arrange driver handover before starting the walk. Each day we will walk between 5-10 hours covering between 15-35km. The distances will decrease as we head towards the winter, as there is less daylight to play with.
One day I shall return!

We have now set up a couple of pages for donations. We've decided to support two charities, one national and one local to us.
Both are essential services that help to save the lives of people in trouble, hopefully we won't have to rely on their services during the walk!!!!

Our national charity is: RNLI

Our local charity is: Cornwall Air Ambulance

Any donation, no matter how small would be appreciated :D
One day I shall return!

It's been a good week for planning the walk.
  • First donation received (£20 for RNLI)
  • First three weeks of drivers secured
  • Free membership received from one of the major camping clubs
  • Four independent campsites have offered free pitches
We are still desperate for more drivers though, it would be nice to try and fill all of the dates in Wales first.
We are there from 4th June until 15th July, so if any fancies a week in Sunny Wales, sharing a motorhome with two complete strangers, let me know :lol:

Finally we are struggling a bit with funding the walk, we still need a ton of gear and any donation, no matter how small would mean a lot.
