Don’t worry... I’ll be doing the walking. 🥾

The mission

One end of Britain to the other

I’m walking from Land’s End to John o’Groats to raise awareness of strokes and show that life after having a stroke can still contain some seriously BIG adventures.

The traditional journey is 874 miles (1,407 km)... but I’ve got a few detours planned — so the miles I actually walk will be more.

Follow the highs, the lows, the wrong turns and probably the occasional blister from the comfort of your own home.
