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.

Malham's Cove and York split - Saturday 13th May 2017

Today the boys and girls split up for two different walks.  The boys got a long drive to Malham's cove to join other men from our church group.  Not to be left home alone, it's an urban walk for the girls this time.  Who do you think had most fun?

BOYS...
  






GIRLS...














The boys may have found the prettier walk (can't wait for us all to go together...we must remember our bathing suits) but their measly 5 miler did not come close to the girl's 13.75 miles.  Even if mum's map reading took us down an accidental 3 miles detour.
