My walking buddy

I woke up one morning and decided I needed a new challenge in my life. It had to be something that didn't include heights or that would risk life and limb, plus my wife was quite insistent that it should not be anything that involved wearing Lycra!

There will be no jumping out of aeroplanes with or without a parachute ....... although I did once do the longest zip wire in Europe, but my legs still wobble even now at the thought of it! So I've decided to keep my feet firmly on the ground and walk the Macmillan Way, a 290 mile path, that runs coast to coast, from Boston in Lincolnshire to Abbotsbury in Dorset.

Route of the Macmillan Way

Oscar the Dog is my walking buddy, he will keep pulling my along when reach those moments of 'I just can't walk any further'.

I am completing the walk over multiple weekends, you can view a map of my  progress here and follow the links below to read my story as I travel.

I am raising money for Macmillan Cancer Support as I walk, so if you are able to sponsor me, my just giving page is here
