Very mild today with light cloud and no rain

This is it, the final day and a climb up then drop down to the finish at Kirk Yetholm. It doesn’t take too long and there it is……………the finish line. No fanfares, no crowds, just a small village and people going about their normal day to day lives. I guess they see this all the time but for me it’s magical and I’m so proud of what I’ve achieved. Even the weather was good today with the mildest temperature of the whole journey and no rain or snow.

Walk 5.34 miles – This morning may have been the boring route again but I didn’t care because this morning was the moment when I completed this mammoth quest. 268 miles in 26.5 days at bang on 10 miles per day average. I reached work with a huge smile on my face, what an achievement 🙂

Walk 4.78 miles – With the challenge complete I set off home with a spring in my step. A message and donation from a fellow runner had me extending the challenge to try and hit 300 miles before the end of the month. So off we go again.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE consider sponsoring me for this mammoth challenge, it’s for an incredible cause and inspired by an incredible person in Laura Nuttall 🙂

My motivation for this has come from a very special person called Laura Nuttall who in late 2018, was diagnosed with terminal multiple brain tumours at the young age of 18. Her determination and positive attitude to not only live her life to the full but also to help others as an ambassador for the charity is just incredible and I’m proud to join the fight in whatever way I can. You can read Laura’s story at the following link. Please be generous and help this great charity to raise much-needed funds for researching a cure.
