The South West Coast Path is a very popular challenge, I know of several people who are partway through it - most do it in weekend chunks, and not necessarily in any straight-forward order. I've only done a bit of it (and ran a section of a few miles going west from Westward Ho!, it is bloomin' hard work.
Thanks very much to Maxally for starting this and all who have posted, your words of encouragement and support are very much appreciated.
Those of you following my £0 to £1,000 challenge may have been wondering why volume has been low for the last 3 or 4 months. Well now you know; I've been in training for this.
I had a tough first day yesterday, successfully covering around 30 hilly miles despite storm force winds and heavy rain, my blog will be updated shortly. I've decided to take a rest day today and will continue walking on Tuesday.
This time it's a leisure walk, not a charity event like the End-to-End was. However if anybody feels the urge to make a donation my Just Giving walking page is still live, a Google search for 'Just Giving Thewalkingmilkman' will find it for you, proceeds go to MacMillan Cancer Support.
coastal walking is probably the hardest as there are no straight and very few flat stretches which on occasions make the progress seem slow, so all the very best of luck and i'm sure you've got a good poker book for the rest periods also i hope that the september weather is kind to you. tim
