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?

What a month!

Saturday 31st May
So, I honestly cannot believe that here we are on the last day of May! 
Are you ready for the grand total?? 
SIXTY FOUR point EIGHTY ONE miles according to Strava ! Although, Strava has been a bit sketchy and lost connectivity several times. 
I didn't actually note any miles down on the day I went to Thorpe, but I'd guess about 3 as it isn't a huge park. And there were 2 days I didn't make it out, but all in all, I'm pretty pleased and thrilled with your contributions, so thank you again, so very much! 

THIRTY ONE MILES MET - NO, BEATEN!

Tuesday 13th May
Last night, on a pleasant 6 mile round trip to Winchester from the pub where poor Victor Meldrew met his grizzly end, I surpassed the 31 mile target!
I'm currently at nearly 33 and a half miles, so let's see where I get to by the end of the week!

Thanks everyone!

Day 10 update

Saturday 10th May
Hey guys!

Just a quick note as we're nearly a third through the month (madness!).
I'm almost up to 23 miles walked so pretty happy so far.
Touch wood, still no rain! And I'm getting nearer to going up a Pokèmon GO level .... despite some glitches with the game today.
I'll keep on going! 
Bye for now :) xx

1st Mayday Mile!

Thursday 1st May
Good morning and HAPPY MAY! 
I raced out of the door this morning at 6 to do 3100 steps and my first mile and a half! 
I added 1.5 to the tracker, but it has rounded it up to 2, so I'll be also keeping a good old paper tracker updated with highlighters at work ! 

I started on 100,337 Pokèmon catches... so let's see how this month goes! 

Have a great start to the month ❤️

Well! What's all this then?

Wednesday 9th Apr
So, I've signed up to do this for a few reasons.
The RNLI is such an amazing charity and they are also based in Dorset. 
I've known several volunteer lifeboat crew in the past and although the sea is an incredible joy the power of it can be unpredictable and the work the RNLI does is so very important.
