Hiya,
      it's come to that time of the year again when I do my 'Walk for Amos' Challenge. Amos for those of you that don't know is my Grandchild no. 4 ( of 5), he's 3 years old now, but he was born with a rare liver disease known as Billary Atresia and at 9 weeks old he had to have a 7hr. op. to save his life. it was successful, but he'll most likely need a liver transplant before he's an adult. Because of this, each year I do a challenge walk to raise money for the Children's Liver Disease Foundation. This year my Challenge is to walk the Perimeter of the North York Moors National Park in 6 1/2 days, a total of 160 miles,
This my intended route.
July 21st Whitby to Scarbro                  22 miles
July 22nd Scarbro to Newton upon Rawcliffe   26 miles
July 23rd Newton upon Rawcliffe to Helmsley 26 miles
July 24th Helmsley to Osmotherley            21 miles
July 25th Osmotherley to Gt. Ayton          27 miles
July 26th Gt. Ayton to Staithes             26 miles
July 27th Staithes to Whitby                12 miles

I have set up a Just giving site for Donations, It would be grand if you could donate, how much well I'll leave it up to you, as a certain Supermarket says 'Every Little helps

Thanks for taking time to read this and if you are in the area when I am, come and say Eh up.

Cheers

Cheers Tim & Pete,
really looking forward to doing it, did a test run of sections I'd not done before (between Helmsley and Saltburn)over the Whit bank holiday. There's some Fantastic and contrasting scenery & I think it'll be the most knackering of the walks I've done to date, but if I can raise some pennies as a result it'll well worth the effort.

:D)

Dearest Michael, Just remember to stop at the sea - you haven't learnt to walk on water yet - or have you? Best wishes from all previous Canterbury Youth Club staff. K.H.

Finished the last of my practice walks now, walked from Ribblehead upto the Tan Hill Inn on Saturday (30 miles) and then down to Kirby Stephen on Sunday (12 miles) all in me trusted Crocs. Resting up in Whitby, fishing with me oldest Grandson Travis, this coming weekend. Then there again the following weekend to start the walk.
Thanks to all who have contributed to my justgiving site so far, but there's still time for others to do so, see the beginning of the thread for details.

Cheers

Eeeeeeeeee only 2 more sleeps to go before I set off, hoping it cools down just a tad during the walk, don't want to get too overheated.
Will be in the Black Horse and the FILO In Whitby on Saturday night if anyone wants do a bit of caterwauling with me.

Cheers

Don't be afraid to cry off if this heat continues - I've only done evening walks this last week

I can't believe you walk in crocs! I only use them to go to campsite showers and even that's uncomfortable

Hiya JHW, Just looked on the BBC Weather forcast for the Whitby area, looks like the temp. is due to fall a few degrees over the next few days , so that should help.
Re. Crocs I find them really comfy, did a 40 mile 1 day walk in a pair, which took me across moorland,through woods and along farm tracks a few weeks ago and didn't have a single blister.

Hiya everyone,
             I did it, all 160 miles and every miles in my trusted blue pair of crocs with no blisters. it was a grand journey and fantastic scenery.
Finished it up with a portion of Whitby fish n Chips and several pints in the Black Horse (sorry didn't make it over the river for the FILO Session).
Any suggestions for a similar length walk next year and donations still being accepted for this year's walk; www.justgiving.comMichael-Pascal1
