My husband, Jeff has always dreamed of completing the Coastal Path in one continuous journey, despite having walked parts of it before. What better time to achieve this goal than now, as we settle in Devon and enter retirement?
The Southwest coast path spans 630 miles, starting from Minehead Somerset, around Lands’ End, and ending in Poole, Dorset, involving a total climb of 115,000 feet, equivalent to scaling Everest four times.
Our journey will commence on Friday, May 3rd, giving us until the end of June to finish it. My role will involve walking part of the way and dropping Jeff off in the mornings, then picking him up at his evening endpoint.
We have decided to combine our walk with fundraising for charity and will be raising money for 2 organisations.
Project Food, a local charity in Axminster that supports people to build confidence and improve skills in the kitchen so that they can improve their mental and physical health, is a cause I deeply care about, and I am proud to be a part of their volunteer team.
This Local Giving page will donate directly to Project Food.
The other charity we will be supporting is Dementia UK is a cause close to our hearts, as my dear father and others we knew suffered from it. If you would like to make your donation to Dementia UK, please email me carole.wolf@hotmail.co.uk for more information.
We plan to share updates and photos along the way and appreciate any donations to support either or both charities. Our goal is to raise a minimum of £500.
