At this time of year many of us are hunkered down inside, concocting plans for once-in-a-life-time summer challenges on the South West Coast Path, but how do you make a notion into an exhilarating, sweaty, unforgettable reality? And more than that, how do you make it a successful fundraiser that will help ensure the Path is always there to enjoy?
Would you like to gain valuable Charity Board experience while working to conserve and promote one of the world’s best long-distance trails?
This month’s Completer story comes from Pamela & Andrew Burtt from Sidmouth who have completed the South West Coast Path for a second time, in the other direction.
In February, we’re launching our newest Couch to Coast project and this time, we’re going to be Nordic Walking in North Devon. The aim of this project is to help people aged 55 and over, get more active and meet likeminded people in their community.
Not sure what Nordic Walking is? Fear not! We caught up with Gill Stewart, Director of Nordic Walking UK to find out more about this increasingly popular form of exercise.
Over 2,000 of our supporters pledged to use the SWCP to improve their lives in 2019 and we are once again asking you to take on the #CoastPathPledge.
In this guest blog, Christine shares her journey walking the SWCP over 15 years (totalling 11 weeks).
