Lakers Coastline
On Febuary 13th 2010 I returned to the Jolly Farmer at Warsash after completing my epic 6300 mile journey around the entire UK coastline. A walk that took one year and two weeks from start to finish, eight pairs of boots and many a blister pad !!
Phoebe and Sumo my two black labradors accompanied me and helped me through the difficult times. Sumo probably averaged 50 miles a day constantly zipping back and forth despite the weather or terrain.
On the way I met some fabulous friends old and new and the kindness of complete strangers never ceased to amaze me.
Thank you to the team that worked tirelessly behind the scenes, supporting me and also organising other fundraising schemes.
Its not to late to donate and your generosity would be greatly appreciated. Donations can be made online at http://www.justgiving.com/Ges-LakerUKwalks
