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.

Welcome to the Cornish family blog.  This August mum, dad, 5 kids and a grandad will be hiking from St Bees to Robin Hood's Bay.  That's 180 miles of stunning countryside and blistered feet.  We'll be raising money along the way for the RAY charity that supports displaced refugee families living in York.  As we uproot our family and lose ourselves in the wilds of Britain for 16 days, help us raise £10,000 for these deserving families who are re-building their lives.
