Pier to pier challenge

Pier to pier challenge Eastbourne to Hastings’s

Took on a pier-to-pier coastal challenge today as part of my preparation for the Cateran Yomp this June 🌊👣

It was a great day all around — not just for the route  the people and the weather, but also for the opportunity to volunteer my first aid support for ASOC. I was especially glad to help a gentleman reach the finish line, which made the day even more rewarding, thank you @squeeqs33  and @associationofcarers  for letting me be a part of this and all my other walking buddies that smashed it today @waite_86 

In June, I’ll be stepping up to the Cateran Yomp challenge: 54 miles in 24 hours across the hills of Perthshire, Scotland ⛰️🇬🇧

I’ll be walking alongside serving personnel and veterans. This is about much more than the distance — it’s about resilience, teamwork, and supporting an incredible cause that provides vital help to soldiers, veterans, and their families ❤️

Pier to pier challenge

Next walk is  on Sunday starting from Eastbourne pier to hastings pier along the coastal route I’m volunteering Asa first aider for the association of carers for a good friend who I run with getting three miles in 17miles and then a little walk home after 

13 miles over Hastings’s, fairlight , guestling , three oaks and ore

Today I walked from home across Hastings Country Park, over East Hill and down to the lifeguards, then on to Fairlight. From there I pushed on to Guestling Green, through Three Oaks and back over towards home in ore — all part of my training and preparation for the Cateran Yomp this June.

Training begun battling storm Dave

54 miles. 24 hours. One relentless challenge. Today was a solid step in preparation for the Cateran Yomp in June, pushing from Hastings out to Rye and back—taking on the winds across Cliff End and through Hastings Country Park. Not easy, but that’s the point. Great to have @ntaylor7664 alongside for the miles (and a well-earned pint halfway 🍺), then straight back into the elements on the return leg. Thank you who has donated already I’m are truly grateful ☺️
