Gone West Yet Again

Last April I walked the first half of the South West Coast Path, 378 miles, from Minehead in Somerset to Fowey in southern Cornwall. That left 254 miles to complete the full Path up to Poole in Dorset.

So this morning I caught a bus and a train to get to Sheffield to meet my sis, Che at Meadowhall. In her British Gas van she drove us down to Looe. What a star.

The walk is in aid of Prostate Cancer UK and so far, thanks to the generosity of my sponsors we’ve raised £3,270, plus nearly £700 from Gift Aid tax relief. I’m happy and my mate Chip would be ok with that too.

If anyone wants to donate it would be more than gratefully received, and you can do so at https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/blade-goes-west-again-60145

Thank you my dear friends and family.

To be honest Looe looked a bit rundown on the main drag, with groups of ne’er do wells and empty premises. But the view down river was as good as ever.

We’re camping here for a few days, with Che picking me up and dropping me off where I finish each day. She is a kind sister.

Thanks for reading this.

Night night.
