Category: Step around The World Challenge

So, I’ve made a plan for Easter weekend.

#steparoundtheworldchallenge

Day One – Will walk around Derwent Water. This is approx 10 miles long. 😬

Day Two – go upto Latrigg (1207 ft) and walk over the top and make my way to the bottom, then along the old railway track through to the town. Now I’m going ‘easy’ so to speak on myself here. I’ve done this walk once before. I was going to investigate the Stone circle for this day, but decided I should do something I know rather than get lost in woods, have hill climbs etc. I’m already going to be aching from the Lake. This should be 5 miles.

I don’t know if I can actually do this you know. I’ve never done the Lake or those massive miles in one go before.

The only fact I’m trying it is, that I do have a strong determination to do it. To push myself and take myself out of my comfort zone. Get fitter, stronger. Be proud of myself.

There’s alot of donations to be willing me on and I will be thinking about that and everyone who donated, liked, shared, messaged me about this challenge.

I think I’ve said thank you to each of you absolute legends now who have kindly donated so far. ♥

I’m thinking maybe going live on Twitch (streaming platform) through parts of the day.

More about that later.

Thank you so much! I’ve well surpassed my target. Amazing support.

🥳💋🤘💘🤗

So sod it. I’m doing it. The challenge that is.

The Macular Society do fantastic work to raise money for treatment or a cure for Macular diseases. For my condition we haven’t had a breakthrough… yet. 

Please help me to raise funds for them so they can continue to try to find treatment or a cure for Macular Dystrophy. So I could possibly stay the way I am now and to help others like me too. 

I will undertake their Step Around the World Challenge. Albeit, out in the open air. Not virtually. 

I will walk/hike and update my challenge with videos and photos. Any weird and wonderful things I see on my travels. Will post alot. So get ready! 

Hopefully will do this on Easter weekend at the Lake District. 

So… I will be going up massive hills… With poor eyesight. What could possibly go wrong! 

I’m hoping to walk 15 miles around gorgeous countryside within 2 days. I’m by no means a professional hiker, so this amount will be a challenge for me. I’ve found something in this recently that lifts your soul and helps your mental heath. Nature, fresh air, fitter, stronger with a sense of accomplishment. 

I will upload my plan and where I’m going soon. 

Any amount however small would be really appreciated.  

If you could share my Just Giving page below, that would be awesome.
