John O'Groats to Lands End

About this blog

Charlie's charity challenge - a 1100 mile meander from John O'Groats to Lands End to raise money for Shelter, The Samaritans and 500 Miles, a charity that raises money for amputees in Africa.

Why? A chance to support three great charities that provide physical, emotional and medical support to those in need. Hopefully I'll see some of the UK on the way too!

Where? Starting in John O'Groats, I'll walk the Great Glen Way, the West Highland Way, the Pennine Way, most of the Heart of England Way, and the Cotswold Way, plus a lot more besides to get to Land's End.

You can sponsor me at www.charitygiving.co.uk/charliefrith . Thanks for your support and wish me luck!
