I left the cobbled flat lands of Manchester for the open Cheshire plains to struggle up a murderous hill and stand beside White Nancy! Although she didn't disappoint she did confuse. What is she? I've still no idea. A giant bobbin of cotton? No, surely that's more Lancashire than Cheshire. I don't know. I was on a quick race around this scenic circular walk that I found on the All Trails app trying my best to make sure I finished it in time to get back for school pick up to get the wee man you can see in the last photo. I made it, phew!
Another walk deliberately on my own, wearing the REFUGE T-SHIRT, and thinking of all the invisible struggles and happy knowing that all the walkers in are all working towards providing an escape route for more women and children every day.

54 miles out of 60.
Nearly there. 💪

I'm so close to the target 🎯 of £1000 which I never dreamed I could raise. Thanks to everyone who has helped make it possible. Last few days to contribute to get it over the line. Just a few more tiny donations will do it. Here's the link..

Proud Dad as the eldest joins Team Refuge. I was in the Scottish Highlands picking Laudae up from a volunteer job and we both went and clocked up some miles together for the Refuge fund raiser. Great to spend this time with him after his extended travels. It was freezing but we were dry and very happy.
Let me know if you have a favourite mini local walk you'd like to share with me.
Thanks for all your donations so far. 🙏

We're very early on in this month of 60 Miles in September, I'm not gonna lie but I'm finding the degree of personal reveal of people's (friends') experience of Domestic Violence in their own lives, previously unknown to me, somewhat overwhelming.

Doesn't mean I want people to stop sharing with me or anyone. I definitely want everyone to smash the taboo, to end the silence, to free themselves. Talk, talk, talk.

But, I'd never go up a mountain in a cheeky monkey hat with knitted sticky out ears. (See Gali Wagon in the photo... )

Took a stroll up Scafell Pike with these two lovelies today knocking 6 miles off the target 60 for September. No extra points for altitude of ferocious winds at the summit. Gorgeous walking partners.

Please consider donating to the appeal that helps women and kids escape violent partners every day.

Cheeky wee river at the bottom of the garden! Quite incredible really. In a 2 bed rental house for less than a one bed flat round our ends. Though it has to be said it comes with quite a bit of rural isolation.
