Hi – Thanks for looking me up.  

The Challenge - During the middle of ’09 I decided that at my stage of life (approaching retirement) I needed a Challenge.

My sister, some two years younger, completed the London Marathon in ‘08 so the gauntlet had been thrown down.

Watching an episode of the BBC Arthur Wainwright Walks; the “Coast to Coast “ walk seemed to fit the bill.

 Motivation (Charity) – I feel sure that I will probably need a stimulus when the walk becomes difficult (say after 2½ day, so I have decided to make it a Charity Walk.

I must stress that the total cost of the walk is funded by me and that ALL money raised will go to Charity.

 The Hard Sale – “Give me your money” – Now in fact what I am suggesting is a Maximum amount of £5 (five pounds) – no not per mile – for the whole walk.  Any amounts less than the maximum would be gratefully received. Should anyone wish to give more then another member of the family would do nicely.
