At the start of May, I set myself a goal of hiking 25km for the Royal Marines Charity. Somehow, that turned into over 25 miles of hiking, mainly in the mountains of North Wales, alongside long drives from Leeds and balancing two jobs.
There were wild camping adventures, carrying a heavy backpack up Kinder Scout, getting caught in brutal snow hail on Glyder Fach, and finishing the month with an unforgettable day on my favourite mountain, Y Garn, followed by a sunset and camp on the Penmon coastline.
Most importantly, there were incredible memories made with great friends and a cause that means a lot to me.
But I’m not finished yet.
My next challenge is a 2-mile swim across Windermere on 12th June to continue raising funds for the Royal Marines Charity and the amazing work they do supporting serving personnel, veterans and their families.
I am fundraising across two different platforms—one for the completed hiking challenge and one for the Windermere swim. If anyone is planning to donate and would like to split their donation between the two pages, I would be hugely grateful. Of course, any support, on either page, means the world to me.
Thank you to everyone who has donated, shared my posts, followed the journey, or simply cheered me on. Every pound makes a difference.
Wish me luck for Winderme
