I'm walking 62 Miles in October
I’m walking 62 Miles in October and raising funds so that families affected by dementia get the specialist help and advice they need. I would be grateful for your support.
An £10 donation can cover the telephone costs of two families seeking support through Dementia UK's free Helpline. £33 could fund an hour with a dementia specialist Admiral Nurse, helping a family with practical solutions and emotional support.
Thank you!

No miles today...
Monday 13th Oct ... but today we registered Mum's death, went to the funeral director's to sign forms & talk through funeral arrangements, and finally to the care home to pick up the last few things of Mum's that were still there. Share
Halfway there!
Friday 10th Oct
Back in Cardiff...
Wednesday 8th Oct ... and had a lovely walk in the wonderful afternoon sunshine with my good friend Julian. Feeling very positive about getting to 62 miles by the end of the month. I'm up to 20 miles (give or take) in 8 days :-) :-) Share
RIP Kathleen Mary Burgess (1930 - 2025)
Monday 6th Oct
Another shopping trip, another few miles :-)
Saturday 4th Oct Off to Narberth this morning to the West Wales Wool Festival for Kathryn & Ellis with me as assistant driver. Way too cold for a walk there while K&E were perusing all things sheepish (although the app clocked me doing 0.35 miles) so I entertained myself in the Narberth Museum. Back in Cardiff got a decent walk in combined with a trip to Tesco. They all count, right?
'I'm walking in the rain'
Friday 3rd Oct Set out earlier today due to the forecast of heavy rain later. It was dry but started drizzling on & off after a few minutes. I was not deterred even after walking down a lane I'd not seen before which turned out to be a cul-de-sac :-D Share
Another double header today :-)
Thursday 2nd Oct Walk no.1 was to Lidl in Llandaff north - they all count, right?
We're off -- twice!
Thursday 2nd Oct Am off to a flyer with two walks today -- this morning I walked into town (to buy jeans and visit to Barclays to sort out Mum's finances for the coming 12 months) & then later to Burnham-on-Sea to hang out with daughter Sara and son-in-law Joshua who are great. Routes already posted on FB but here's a lovely photo from this morning's effort... Share
Dry Walk
Tuesday 30th Sep
Here's the plan...
Tuesday 30th Sep If it's a nice day, I will get loads of steps in to make up for wet days when maybe I won't do much more than pop to the Spar and back to achieve a 0.5mi round trip. Dry run (walk) this afternoon with a walk to Pontcanna.Thank you to my Sponsors
