I’m taking on the Mayday Mile challenge to support RNLI volunteers
This May, I’m completing a mile-a-day challenge to help RNLI crews save lives at sea.
During summertime, more people flock to beaches and coastal towns to make the most of everything they have to offer – from glorious sunshine to adventurous watersports. And as temperatures rise, so do calls from people in trouble in the water.
By answering this Mayday call and giving a gift today, you can make a real, lifesaving difference. Your kindness will help give volunteers everything they need to launch to the rescue, and make sure they’re ready to face their busiest season.
Will you sponsor my RNLI Mayday Mile challenge and support the courageous crews?

My Updates
Victoria Park, Plymouth
Friday 17th May Date day out with Gorgeous Husband, bus to Plymouth followed by walk around Victoria Park and its environs.
More Than Miles
Thursday 16th May It’s occurred to me today that it isn’t the distance that’s remotely challenging for me. I traditionally do Lidl and back three or four times a week, which averages out at a mile or more a day as standard for me. But the fund raising target? Ah! There’s the challenge!
Two Thirds of the Way There!
Wednesday 15th May 21 miles already out of a targeted 31 and an unexpectedly generous donation from Tom who considers the RNLI to be heroes. Share
Post for My Darling Man
Tuesday 14th May You told me you have been reading my stunningly boring blog.
Messed up FitBit again!
Monday 13th May So just when thought I had the tracking thing all worked out, I accidentally switched it off during a visit to Lidl.
Eurovision 2024
Sunday 12th May Missed the show last night but spent a minimum of 25 minutes bogeying around the living room to multiple acts show on YouTube.
Yay Me!
Saturday 11th May Finally figured out how to get FitBit to track activity and, in doing so, discovered Waitrose and back is more or less 5km, at least if you include the steps inside the supermarket as far as the tofu and a super quick spin around Lidl on the way back. Share
Date Day in Truro
Friday 10th May Log for the day says one mile walking but that isn’t entirely accurate, I’m afraid.
Dance Like Nobody’s Watching
Friday 10th May Instead of walking, I invested 30 minutes dancing around the living room.
14 Miles Down, 24 To Go
Wednesday 8th May So I have been getting a bit ahead of myself. Definitely on track to exceed the goal of 31 miles in 31 days.
2 Miles A Day!
Tuesday 7th May Ok. So a part of today’s 58 minute walk took place inside Food Warehouse but the walk there and back was brisk as always so what’s the harm?
Losing The Plot
Monday 6th May It has occurred to me I don’t really know how to monitor deliberate exercise using my FitBit. So there’s another thing to learn about over the course of the month. Share
A Minimum of a Mile per Day
Sunday 5th May It was Andy who set the target at just 1 mile a day throughout the month of May and it is actually rather nice that that target is so profoundly doable. It’s a gentle route back towards that super regular 10,000 steps habit that I used to maintain so very easily.
May Fair in Saltash
Saturday 4th May Is my FitBit working properly? Much of today’s activity was probably too slow to register. That’s due to the May Fair and stalks all along the high street. I did manage to log my daily mile though and just over 11,000 steps all together today. Share
Why does it have to be so bloody complicated?
Friday 3rd May OK. So the true, meaningful goal for me is to write something about me activities EVERY SINGLE DAY. But to write here has to be done on an iddy biddy phone keyboard, which is something I struggle with these days. And I struggle very to find where I am supposed to post. 😖
Another Day, Another Mile
Thursday 2nd May So the target for RNLI is a mile a day. The target for FitBit is, of course, 10,000 steps. And the target for blogging? Just to write something. Anything. Share
Godspeed
