The Big Blindfolded Backwards Walk - 108 Miles - Supported by the Tynedale Hotel Llandudno
Hi Everyone,
On Friday 16th December at 10am, the Llandudno Vikings , Nathan Midgley, Sam Midgley-Davies, Jamie Mills, Tom Jolley, Matt Harris & Phil Kendall will be taking on the grueling challenge of walking backwards from Llandudno Cenotaph to Chester Town Hall and then all the way back again.... Blindfolded dressed as Vikings!!!
We will be raising money for Blind Veterans, Macmillan and Wales Air Ambulance. Three amazing deserving charities.
This will be by far our most demanding challenge to date, both mentally and physically and who knows what the weather will throw at us. The challenge could take up to 60 hours! It's a team challenge so we can only go as fast as the last man (THIS IS NOT A RELAY!) Each man will walk 108 miles Backwards. We are attempting to do it in one hit without sleep!!
Massive thanks to our forward walking team who will guide us, keeping us safe, fed and watered. Paul Williams, Gerwyn Lewis, Murod Samadov, Dave Parrish, Joe & Harry Jolley, Graham Davies, Joel Hubbard, Antony Bertola and Alisha Fitz-Harrison.
Please donate what you can, even if it's just your time to wave us off or welcome us home, but ultimately your cash is King. Let's make a difference this Christmas!
Please follow The Big Blindfolded Backwards Walk on our Facebook page:- https://www.facebook.com/thellandudnovikings/
