Thank you so much to everyone that liked, messaged and donated as I took on the Offa's Dyke Path. It all meant the world to me and kept me striding on, particularly when thinks felt difficult.

I did it! 💪 Yesterday I finished the Offa's Dyke path, all 177-miles of it. I walked and camped alone; just me, myself and my mind. The first 3 days put my resilience to the test with the terrain, weather and mileage. But I made it through! Highlights of the journey were the views, the history and the geography. The variety of landscapes were incredible, really got to geek out. The trail was much quieter than anticipated, literally saw no-one else on the path some days. But it made meeting others all the more meaningful. Not sure I would do another long distance trail solo; it required a lot of self-talk to find the motivation and resilience to keep plodding on at times. The support, messages and donations helped alot, thank you so much to everyone that donated along the way. It all meant the world to me, particularly when my head and body were telling me to stop! #SoloStrides #MentalHealthMatters #MindUK #WellbeingWalk #OffasDykePath #Teacherwellbeing #WalkingForWellness #CancerResearch

3 days in to walking Offa's Dyke, and I can't say it's been easy. First two days in particular were mentally and physically draining, but today was better. Managed to stumble across my uncle on the ridge today, and it was exactly what I needed to keep me going. Was lovely to walk and talk with him for several hours. Looking forward to a slightly shorter walk of about 10 miles tomorrow.

Since the world returned to ‘normal,’ I have battled with bouts of depression and felt adrift. Last July, after a particularly challenging bout, I decided I needed to rediscover myself. I stepped down from my roles of responsibilities, accepted a part-time teaching role, and vowed to use my extra time to be outdoors, to do good and to give back. I soon found myself planning to walk the Offa's Dyke path. Now, I'm just one week away; my bag is packed, my boots are laced, and I think my mind is just about ready. 🚶‍♂️🌿 As I stride, I'll be fundraising in aid of Mind and Cancer Research. I hope you will follow along as take on this little challenge. #OffasDykePath #SoloStrides #MindUK #MentalHealthMatters #WellbeingWalk #WalkingForWellness #Teacherwellbeing #CancerResearch

Building up stamina and strength by getting back into running. Getting up to 5K was pretty easy, thanks to a bit of muscle memory, but the first 10K of 2024 felt like a big accomplishment. Throwback to May 5th
