Club630 – The South West Coast Path

‘Walking rookie’ to Completer

Little did I know, as I stood as a “walking rookie” in Minehead in 2009, what a fabulous journey was in front of me.

Unparalleled in its scale or magnificence

Since that day, Moose and I’ve walked a further 1,200 miles of Coast Path across seven counties and I can still state that the SWCP is unparalleled in its scale or magnificence. I’m still keen to go back there one day to retrace our steps, if for no other reason than to reclaim the piece of my heart it stole from me the first time around.

SWCP Journeys

One of the best things I have ever done

I completed the South West Coast Path to raise money for Heart Research UK after the sudden death of my husband in 2016. The walk was undertaken in the summer of 2017 with my dog Ruby. We did the whole path starting in Minehead on 12th May and ending in Poole on 19th September. Ruby was then a 9-year-old Cockapoo and she loved every minute of it. We raised over £4,000, which was perhaps an even more outstanding achievement.
