The Frontline Walk 2025: The Western Front

I'm taking part in the Frontline Walk: The Western Front. I'll be trekking 100km following in the footsteps of those who fought on the Somme and Passchendaele battlefields during the First World War

I'll be doing this to commemorate the sacrifices made by those who fought in WWI whilst helping to support the soldiers and veterans of today.

It will be a physically and emotionally tough challenge, but I'm doing it all for a great cause: Army Benevolent Fund, the National Charity of the British Army. They support soldiers, veterans and their families when they need it most.

Please cheer me on by making a donation towards my target.

Beacons to the Black Country !

Training continues, and whilst it’s not the Beacons, Black Country rain has a bite as well :)
Really appreciate anything you guys have been able to donate, it really will make a massive difference to our brave service personnel.
Anything you can do to spread the word and reach down the back of the settee would be superb.
For all the folks doing this, platypus zip is superb and works well.
Keep dry, keep safe, but help each other and check on your neighbours
