Not sure if this would be of interest to you but I have just completed my first long distance walk. The Charity Walk was called High Road to Hope and was in support of Hope House Children Hospices and Children's Hospices UK. Basically, the walk was the End to End but with a few extra bits. My route took me from Penzance through the the west of the UK to Duncansby Head and, as much as possible followed long distance footpaths and trails, forestry tracks, mountain passes and minor roads. My route also took in 25 of the highest mountains in the UK including Snowdon, Scafell Pike and Ben Nevis and the last mountain was, appropriately, Ben Hope. My walk started in Penzance on the 25th March and ended at Ducansby Head on 15th July having completed over 1200 miles. Some of the main trails I followed were:The South West Coastal Path, The Wye Valley Trail, The Offas Dyke Path some of the Cambrian Way, The Pennine Way, The Dales Way, The Cumbria Way, Hadrian's Wall Path, The West Highland Way and the Cape Wrath Trail. I had the privilege of walking through some wild, remote and beautiful parts of the UK; I saw some amazing wildlife and also met some fascinating and lovely people on the way. My favourite parts of the journey were the Cape Wrath Trail and the South West Coastal Path. Both were demanding and challenging in their own ways but rewarded me with stunning scenery.I camped for much of the journey but also stayed in hostels, bunkhouses, some B & B's and a bothy or two.It was a fantastic journey for me and can't wait to tackle another long distance path; in fact I think I will have trouble adjusting back to a normal daily routine, whatever that is.I guess it's not such a big deal by some standards but, for me, it was a fantastic adventure that fulfilled a lifelong ambition and, in the process raised some monies for worthy causes.Mike Atkins
