A final BIG Thank You to everyone that has donated to my chosen charity "Yateley Inudtries" who employee people with disabilities.

It has been an adventure for me and absolutely loved every (well almost) minute of the walk and feel very honoured that you have helped me exceed my target of £3,000. The actual figure currently stands at £3,300 which goes to over £4,100 when the Gift Aid is added

Of course I couldn't have completed this walk without my friend Harry Johnson

The memories of this walk will stay with me for ever and I promise I won't bore you any more with this subject but will share a few (lots) photos for the last time

THANK YOU!

Our adventure is finally over. Today we have finished the last part that took us from Winnington to Beacon Hill, the shortest walk, 7 miles, (the longest was 17.7 miles) of the total of 95 miles. I absolutely loved the experience of walking on one of the oldest walking routes in England, absolutely amazing landscapes and wildlife. I have experienced the two extremes of weather conditions, beautiful blue skies and atrocious wet and cold conditions which made the walk extremely difficult. What better example than the last 24 hours, blue sky and 23C yesterday but today 11C, very cloudy and cold and even a little bit of rain. There is no way I could have completed this walk without my good friend Harry Johnson, he was amazing throughout this adventure, helped with the preparation, the driving which most of the time was long distances but most of all his company and encouragement during the walks. There is nothing better than walking ...

Part 7 of our walk - Monday 14th May An extremely tough walk today for the Lone Ranger. Unfortunately my friend  Harry Johnson  wasn't feeling well and cancelling the walk wasn't an option as its imperative that we finish on Wednesday. My wife therefore helped me with transport which was about 1.5 hours drive, What I didn't need after 10 miles walk was 1/2 mile of very steep hill but what I want and what i get are 2 different things. I really feel my age now and tomorrow's walk is even tougher, longer and two very steep hills but no pain no gain. Bring it on as they say. Unfortunately I am still £375 behind my target (£3,000) so if anyone feels generous and wants to help people with disabilities then use this link please https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/nikos-polydorou

With regret I have no choice but to postpone my current Charity Walk for a later date, hopefully early May as the conditions are absolutely atrocious and I am not going to risk any injuries. The attached will give you an idea of what I had to deal with in this walk. It was tough and I was prepared to deal with that but now I have reached are "Chalky ground" area. That under normal circumstances wouldn't be too much of an issue but when wet its absolutely deadly. Extremely sl ippery and it took me just under 2 hours to complete the last 2 miles. As you can see from the photos, it was a very hilly part and I have been told the further North I go the hillier it will get but my biggest concern is the wet chalky ground It is not a coincidence that I have not seen any other walkers in the last 2 days, unfortunately I made the mistake of choosing the wrong time. I will definitely not let anyone down, lots of people have donated a lot of money (£2,400 so far) and I wi...
