I will be walking over 300 miles along the coast path from Minehead in Somerset to Lizard Point via Lands End. My official journey begins at 1100hrs on Friday 27th August 2010, though I will be staying in Minehead on the evening of 26th. I have chosen the charity HELP (www.helpingeastlankaprogress.org.uk/about-help.cfm) because I traveled for 7 weeks in Sri Lanka just one year after the Tsunami.

Some Great People I Met (3)
Me with a fellow trekker - Christien from Holland - at Stoke Hartland campsite - she's ready to go but I still have some washing, charging and bits to do in prep for the next stage that I know is very tough (nothing new there then!).
Richard the ex police officer - walking the Cornish coast for a bowel cancer charity. Assisted by his lovely devoted wife who follows him around the coast in her car! Fantastic! What a dedicated team. Good on you guys.
I'm still plodding on, towards Bude which is at the end of that sandy bay behind me.
Christien does a little dance - not sure if it's Pink Floyd or Beethoven she's listening to but she's really looking good. She tells me she needs to split because she wants more time alone :( - of course I understand this - isn't that one of the reasons we did this anyway?
OK - well - Goodbye again my fair Dutch maiden. Text me if you get stuck.
Later, in Boscastle, we meet up again! Purely by chance of course. But soon we split again.
I walk on alone to Trebarwith Strand where I meet AD who also works in Unix and IT. Let me know how the Brecon Beacons yomp goes!!! Oh and OMG there's that Dutch wonder woman again! I know she's trying to shake me off but I just keep ending up camping right next to her again!
My friend Steve alerts the newspapers that a Nutty man from Wiltshire is doing something nutty. Hopefully no one will recognise me in those shades!
