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.

DAY FOURTEEN - The Lion Inn to Glaisedale (10miles) Thursday 17 August 2017



Being a day ahead we have changed the schedule a little.  So instead of hiking 14miles into Grosmont, we did a very easy moor top walk into the lovely town of Glaisedale.  But apart from the ever nearing view of the North Sea dominating our horizon, I think we have shown enough of the endless heather already.  So instead, grab your popcorn, sit back and meet the kids.


















'M felt the need to go to Greece and volunteer her time in helping those seeking refuge, as she thinks “I felt that the European Union was inefficient in the treatment towards people feeling war. As a human being I felt the responsibility to take action and help he refugees in this process, by providing them with the essentials.”'
