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.

White Horse - Monday 17th April 2017

Back to the white Horse walk today, only backwards.  A route always seems a little quicker when you are familiar with the way.  Though it is nice to find some little distractions for the kids along the way.





The only problem being the lovely walk downhill at the beginning became an enormous challenge uphill at the end.  Still, who knows what we are to discover on our actual walk.  Best prepare for everything.  Oh, and at the top there was a very sweet reminder of some local history at John Bunting's Chapel.
