I'm walking from London to Edinburgh. Really.
Through July, I will be following the Grand Union Canal to Rugby, across the Midlands and up the Pennine Way to Edinburgh.

I will be taking this opportunity to raise money for the amazing mental health charity 'MIND ' as this is subject very dear to me.

I leave on July 1st
Lets get a few things out the way...
- yes, it's really far
- yes, I'm going alone
- I will be camping/couchsurfing mostly
- no, I'm not crazy
- yes, I know there's a train
- yes, I will be raising money for charity

In the light of the EU referendum debacle, it's clear my principles and world views do not align with a majority of my country-folk.

So I'm walking, leaving 'Planet London' for the towns that punctuate our mainland, meeting and talking to the people that call it home. Re-learning what it means to be 'British'.

I am criminally under-trained and under-prepared so for your daily dose of schadenfreude, keep track of my progress, findings and thoughts on twitter/instagram.

Please share and donate if you can.
