My target 120 mi
I’m fundraising for The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award
My daughter, Katie, works for the DofE Award charity and has somehow persuaded me that I can achieve 120 miles in March. I will do my best as it's a brilliant cause and young people deserve our support. I'm taking part in the DofE Do it 4 Youth Step Challenge walking, running or wheeling 120 miles throughout March, raising vital funds for the DofE charity so more young people facing financial barriers can access the life-changing Awards programme and transform their lives. Please support me by sponsoring as much as you can.

12th Day feeling fitter
Wednesday 12th Mar I combined my voluntary work for The Dorset Wildlife Trust with a walk home today of 5.6 miles. Luckily the hailstones had stopped before I set off and, although chilly, it was another scenic walk. Friends joined us yesterday to celebrate my half way mark of 60 miles on a South Dorset Ridgeway walk and a picnic on Chesil Beach. Those hills are actually getting easier! Thank you again for all your support. Share
8th Day and still standing
Saturday 8th Mar I've discovered some beautiful new walks, battled with a fallen tree, brambles and a bog, but have persevered and achieved 45 miles. The bike has even been dusted off and used too. I will keep going with the encouragement of Anthony and all my kind supporters. Please continue to follow my progress as it's really appreciated. Share
4th Day
Tuesday 4th Mar Discovering some new walks in West Dorset. The weather has been beautiful which always helps. There's certainly no getting away from the steep hills, but the views from the top are always worthwhile. Share
The very beginning
Saturday 1st Mar Day 1. A beautiful sunny day walking from our home in West Dorset. Following a steep climb, we were rewarded with wonderful views from the Wessex Ridgeway before dropping down to the village of Cattistock, stopping for a snack in the churchyard and heading home via Chilfrome. Lesson learnt: I must pack less in my backpack as I carried the chocolate brownies and nuts all the way home. ShareThank you to my Sponsors
