Good evening all! 👋🏼

I wanted to share some news with you all. After giving it my best, I’ve decided to finish my Coast to Coast charity walk early. Stupidly, I didn’t realise how tough it would be – both physically and mentally. The isolation hit me harder than expected, and my fitness wasn’t quite where it needed to be to see it through this time.

I’m disappointed, but I’ve learned so much from this experience, and I’m not giving up! I’m planning to tackle it again next year (probably in the spring), with more training and hopefully a bit more company along the way.

I can’t thank you all enough for your donations and support. I know I didn’t reach my fundraising goal, but every bit helps and will go directly to the two charities we’re supporting.

This isn’t the end – it’s just a pause. I’ll be back, stronger and more prepared, and I hope you’ll be with me when I take on this challenge again!

Thank you so much for understanding and standing by me.

C2C Day 4 in the bag! ✅

That was a HOT one!! ⛰️🥵☀️ 9 miles or so from Grasmere to Patterdale, then bus to Penrith to meet Bethany for supplies and more importantly to REST!! 😌

Highlights today: views, sun, jets and the fact that I’m over a 1/4 of the way across the country! 🙌🏼 90-ish kilometres done, 220-ish to go! That’s 55-ish and 135-ish miles to go for all you old fogies 😘

Thanks again to everyone supporting me. Love you all! I’m gonna do this even if it kills me 💪🏼🥾🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

***A RAVEN GOOD TIME***

Coast to Coast Day 3 - Stonethwaite to Grasmere 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🥾

LATEST UPDATE: Alex has clocked in another 11-ish miles today. His only company? An unkindness of ravens who won’t stop croaking – and we’re starting to suspect Alex might be croaking back! 🦅😵‍💫

After a day filled with stunning waterfalls, mountains, and a bit too much talking to birds, Alex is pitching his tent for the night and probably wishing he packed a portable foot spa. 🏔⛺️

A massive THANK YOU to everyone who’s donated – we’re sitting at an amazing £540! 🎉 More than halfway to hitting the £1000 target! Keep the love coming – like, share, and help push Alex to the finish line!

Cheers everyone,

***OUT IN'T STICKS!***

Coast to Coast Day 2 – Ennerdale Bridge to Stonethwaite 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🥾

Rumor has it that Alex has gone full Bear Grylls – no signal, no problem! We’ve just received word via carrier pigeon that he’s still in one piece and not living off bugs just yet. 🐦🐛

He’s sending a massive THANK YOU to everyone cheering him on from the comfort of their WiFi zones. Today’s adventure? A casual 19-ish miles, and just a breezy 152 more to go… Who needs feet? 🥵👏

Thanks to all your incredible support, we've smashed through to £505! 🎉

If you’ve got a spare second, give us a like, share, and help us get to that finish line! Cheers, legends!

Good morning ladies and gents & a big hello to those who have followed or liked the page over the last week! 👋🏼😊 Just wanted to give a bit of an update on how much we’ve raised so far and an estimated start/end date for the C2C walk…

First of all, a MASSIVE thank you to everybody that’s donated so far. We’re currently on an amazing £305!! 🤩 A reminder – we’re raising money for both the Wentworth Woodhouse Big House Heroes & The Master Cutler’s Challenge on behalf of The Commercial, Chapeltown & Sheffield Distillery.

The plan is still to start the walk on the first Monday of September (2nd), so 15 days from now – but it may be a day or 2 after depending on trains/B&Bs/campsites, etc.

Lastly, a quick update on my training. A solid 14-mile walk this morning before 12-o’clock, so I can get back in time to watch the mighty blue and white wizards get 3 points… 🤞🏼😜

Please, if you can, donate on the link below and feel free to share/like/follow the page! 🙏🏼

Hi, my name is Alex. In September, I’ll be embarking on a 2-week hike across England. I … Alex Capel needs your support for Alex’s Coast to Coast Charity Walk
