My Challenge:

Hi Everyone, thank you for popping in :)

A few years ago I had a challenge planned. I was going to hike from Milngavie to Inverness via the West Highland Way and the Great Glen Way. Not long after I planned this, I injured both my feet and was out of action for some time. My feet are now mostly better and I would like to complete a challenge. The current climate is not really supportive of my original plan as I would need to take lots of public transport to get to and from my walking destinations, so I am saving Scotland for another time. However, a trail closer to home has sparked my interest. So in Spring this year, all being possible on the Covid front, I will be walking the South Downs Way from Winchester to Eastbourne. I will be backpacking it, carrying everything I need for the trip. The trail itself is 100 miles long, though the distances between villages and/or campsites off of the trail and back, mean that the walk itself will be somewhat longer than this. I plan to do this in 8-9 days. If my plan of an April-May walk is not possible due to Covid restrictions, I will be heading out at the first possible opportunity. My camping plans mean I am able to be flexible.

I look forward to sharing this walk with you in any way I can on trail and off.
