Summary

Welcome to the Cornish Family Coast to Coast Challenge – an 180 miles cross country walk that will take us from St Bees, Cumbria to Robin Hood's Bay, North Yorkshire. Mum, Dad, 5 kids (age 4 - 12 yrs old) and a grandad (72 and counting) will 'walk a mile in the shoes' of families who have been displaced through war, famine, fear or persecution. Over 16 days (come rain, shine or blisters), we will peak mountains, traverse valleys and hike through moor and woods. We’ll be raising money for refugee families who, unlike us, had no choice but to leave their homes – families just like ours and yours.

Our chosen charity, Refugee Action York (RAY), offer practical aid, emotional support and an open door to men, woman, children and families without discrimination. Hear their stories and follow our intrepid journey either online or by our side. In true British style, let us stand (or walk) together in welcoming our newest countrymen to England’s green and pleasant land.

Levisham, the return - Saturday 20th May 2017

Levisham has been our favourite walk so far.  So going back this week seemed a great idea.  Only thing was, the weather has been a bit showery all week.  So off we went to buy some summer rain coats.  After all, practising in some light rain will be good mental strength training incase our typical English summer runs it's usual wet course.  Oh yes, time for some inner strength resilience training.
The video is so short because the rain was hard enough to press the 'off' button all on its own!  
But we made it.
