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
31st May - Day 31
Friday 31st May So that's it then, Day 31, end of the Mayday Miles.
30th May - Day 30
Thursday 30th May Penultimate day, 5.2 miles from central Tavistock to Pits Cleave, along the A386, busy road but with a path along side. Last day tomorrow, Bigbury Golf Club, overlooking the sea, now what a place to conclude the month's challenge. Share
29th May - Day 29
Wednesday 29th May Great day's golf at Yelverton, 4.1 miles, bettered only by the fact the Tavistock won by 6 matches to nil. Old Father Time trophy remains at Tavistock then. Anyway, 100 mile target has now be reached with two days to go to the end of the month and a half decent total has been raised for the RNLI. Share
28th May - Day 28
Tuesday 28th May Determined to get a decent walk in during the last few days and miles of the challenge. Real Conan Doyle stuff : dank, murky, misty day with low cloud, mist and rain over the hills of the moors. Half expected to see a large hound leap our of the bracken. However, good walking around Harrowbeer Airfield, Drake's trail and the local area - 5 miles completed. Near to the 100 mile total. Share
27th May - Day 27
Monday 27th May 4.7 miles around Tavistock Golf Course, a bit longer than usual because we played off the white tees!!! Weather generally very pleasant but a few uncomfortable heavy showers. Four days to go and we're nearly up to our 100 mile target. Share
26th May - Day 26
Sunday 26th May A very wet day in West Devon, must be Bank Holiday! Soggy walk around Yelverton and Drake's Trail - 4.3 miles with wet feet, coat, hat and trousers - just like playing golf but without the ball! Share
25th May - Day 25
Saturday 25th May Walking round the Yelverton area, 4.3 miles. Busy, Bank Holiday Saturday, not everyone watching the Cup Final, or considering the pros and cons of Argyle's new Manager appointment ..... not sure there can be too many pros !!!! Share
24th May - Day 24
Friday 24th May A double dose today - 4.2 miles of golf at Tavistock followed by 2.1 miles up to Yelverton village this afternoon : 6.3 miles in total. Well on target again for my 100 miles. Share
23rd May - Day 32
Thursday 23rd May Only eight days to go and I'm determined to reach my 100 mile target. 4.2 miles today around Carlyon Bay Golf Course, decent golf in dry weather. Share
22nd May - Day 22
Wednesday 22nd May After a long day in the car returning to Devon, only 1.2 miles this evening, in the rain of course! Share
18th to 21st
Tuesday 21st May Behind with blogs having been up to Woodhall Spa and then on to the National Memorial Arboretum. So : Saturday - 2.3; Sunday - 1.9; Monday - 2.9; Tuesday (today) 3.3 . A lot more miles to get in if I'm to crack the 100 mile mark, only 10 days to achieve it! Share
16th May - Day 16
Thursday 16th May After a long drive up to Tamworth, the centre of Robert Peel's new Conservativism, a late walk towards the town and back after a light snack and a Guinness of course, rewarded before my walk. 2.4 miles, enough for the day! On to Woodhall Spa tomorrow.
17th May. - Day 17
Wednesday 15th May Difficult getting a walk in today, managed 2.1 miles in Woodhall Spa walking up to the Petwood Hotel and back from the golf course. Not sure I'll get much more in tomorrow with a full day. ShareThank you to my Sponsors
