Coast and Country Walking

🚁 Tomorrow is our Devon Air Ambulance Charity Walk!

Tomorrow, Coast & Country Walking will be doing something a little bit special.

Instead of paying their usual walk fee, everyone joining us has been asked to donate it to Devon Air Ambulance and, so far, we’ve raised a fantastic £240. Thank you to everyone who has donated.

This particular charity has a very personal connection for me.

Ceri Thomas was a school friend of mine and a member of my Ten Tors team in the mid 1980s. Tragically, Ceri was killed in a road accident when he was just 18 years old.

Following his death, Ceri’s mum went on to found the Devon Air Ambulance, turning an unimaginable personal tragedy into something that has since helped save so many lives across Devon.

Afterwards, our walkers will also have the opportunity to meet the lady who made it all happen, the founder of Devon Air Ambulance herself. I’m incredibly pleased that she’ll be joining us and that we can use the day to recognise what she achieved while raising money for the charity.

You don’t have to be joining the walk to donate. Anyone who would like to support us can do so using the JustGiving link provided in the comments.

And a little JustGiving tip! When JustGiving asks if you’d like to add a contribution towards running their platform, choose “Custom amount” and enter £0 if you prefer. That way, the full amount you intended to give to Devon Air Ambulance goes to the charity.

I’m really looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow.

And finally, a very special thank you to Ange, who is kindly opening up her garden afterwards and providing food and drink for all our walkers. ❤️

It should be a very special day, for a very special cause.

An update on our new website

www.coastandcountrywalking.com

A message from a very tired ‘walking guy’.

The web address stays the same, but the website is very different. Slicker, easier to use. But unfortunately not quite ready yet.

Please don’t book anything just yet, await further updates from me.

I’m off for some tea and a much needed break,

Website update

Just a quick heads-up that the Coast & Country Walking website is under going some maintenance.

While this takes place, you may temporarily find that www.coastandcountrywalking.com doesn't load on your phone or computer.

Don't worry — nothing is wrong at your end. The website should become available again as the change works its way through.

I'll let everyone know once everything is fully up and running.

You can have a bad day, but as soon as the boots go on and you set off, all the problems go away.

Last nights walk was a short walk around England's longest village, Branscombe. A village with smuggling connections and the scene of one of the UK's most expensive shipping disasters.

There were no hills on this walk🤣as usual 🤣🤣

The views were some of the best. We saw Branscombe at its best, even the bell ringers were on hand to provide the soundtrack.

The secret ingredient to a brilliant walk, stunning scenery and great company. Last night I had both.

See you all soon,
