Walk 50 Miles in January 2026

I'm walking 50 Miles in January for Dementia UK

This January, I'm walking 50 Miles and raising funds to help ensure no family faces dementia alone. I'm taking on the challenge for Dementia UK, the specialist dementia nursing charity, and would be grateful for your support.

Your donation, big or small, makes a difference. £33 could fund a new dementia specialist Admiral Nurse to spend an hour helping a family in the community, offering practical solutions and emotional support to cope with their loved one’s distressed behaviour.

Thank you!

Completed it

Thursday 29th Jan
Braved a freezing round of golf today with some very poor results on the scorecard 🥶⛳️ — but a huge positive to celebrate: I’ve completed the Dementia UK 50 Miles in January Challenge!

Massive thank you to everyone for the support, encouragement, and incredible generosity so far — it truly means a lot. There’s still time to help boost the total if anyone would like to contribute 💙

Herne Bay Prom

Wednesday 21st Jan
Added another 1.5 miles  this afternoon with a trip to Herne bay with the misses. Lovely little walk along the front to check the place out .

Remaining total  for the challenge is down to 18 miles

Lullingstone Loop in Reverse

Wednesday 21st Jan
Very wet and muddy walk today with the dog. Harder work to complete, but that’s another 4.5 miles in the bank. All the clothes  (inc. Bean’s jumper) & harness in the wash. And a bath for him.

Drops the remaining down to 19.5 miles 

Lunchtime at Shorne Woods

Playing catch up with the miles. Just completed another 6, bringing the remaining for the challenge to 24.5 miles to go.

Looks like this might go to the wire 

Pre Nights Local Walk

Friday 16th Jan
Another little walk with the dog. 3.5 mile local added to the running total on a sunny morning with a very short drizzle

30.5 Miles to go

Shorne Woods Again

Monday 12th Jan
Another little 4 miles towards bring the total remaining down to 34.
Was a muddy one today with Jess following the big thaw.

Need to get the miles in as I’m falling behind.
Going for a big push this week to try to get a bit ahead before the working weekend.

Thanks to all those who have sponsored me so far, your generosity and support is helping to drive me on

Let me know if anyone fancy’s coming along on any walks !!!

Cold round of golf to get the miles in - walk 3

Saturday 10th Jan
Cold morning stroll around Blake’s Golf course in North Weald, distanced increased by using the whole width of the course searching for my golf ball. Great day out & clocked up another 5 miles towards the 50.

38 remaining

Walk 2 - Lullingstone Loop Route

Monday 5th Jan
Frosty stroll with Jess & the dog around the Lullingstone Loop. Nice undulating walk through the wooded area, around parts of the golf course and fields, passing the Roman Villa, Lullingstone Castle & the River Darent. Very picturesque with the frost on the ground. Another 4 miles done.

43 left to go.

First Walk of the Challenge

Saturday 3rd Jan
Just been out for a lovely little walk in Shorne Woods to kick the challenge off. 
Completed the Explorer Trail  (Green) at 3.84 miles with the wife and the dog. 
What a lovely way to clear the lungs and get out in this chilly weather. 
It’s a great place to visit with loads of different walks for all abilities, great little park to bring the family too.

47 left to go.
