Coast to Coast Walk - 190 miles in 12 days
Currently Michelle Bennett is walking the C2C route on behalf of the team. Michelle started on 1st September and on her third day she has completed 44 miles of the 190.
In Michelle's words
It’s something I’ve wanted to do for a very long time, and this year I finally decided to stop talking about it and actually do it.
I’ll be walking on my own, through whatever the British weather decides to throw at me.
As I’m going to all the trouble of walking across an entire country, I thought I might as well try to raise some money along the way.
I’m raising money for Cleveland Mountain Rescue Team, a local volunteer team who give their time to help people in trouble on the hills and moors. As so much of my time is spent walking in the places they help to keep people safe, it felt like a very fitting charity to support.
Anything you can spare would be hugely appreciated. 🖤

To date Michelle has raised £580.
Please support Michelle's effort
