Given Covid crisis, I have no choice but to postpone this. Fear not, only temporarily! The plan is now to walk from @NewmarketRace to @CheltenhamRaces leaving on morning after Future Champions Day, arriving on first day of Showcase meeting for @Racingwelfare & @PancreaticCanUK.

It's time to level with you all on my latest project for @Racingwelfare. In April next year I will leave @CheltenhamRaces to walk, initially, to Lambourn. From there I will walk to @NewmarketRace, arriving for Craven Day, 5 years on from the conclusion of @WalkTheCourses 1/2

Absolutely anybody & everybody welcome to come along. I really want to involve as many people as possible. There will a large hole in @Racingwelfare funding as a result of the current crisis & I am determined, with your help, to plug as much of it as I possibly can.

I will do it over 10 days, so average daily c 15 miles. I will welcome company along the way: sponsorship essential (min £500). Welcome to join for as much or as little as wanted! We will be holding events along the way (& at Newmarket) to raise as much money as possible 2/2

It’s time to start putting a few clues out there for my next venture to raise much needed money for @Racingwelfare. 1. It will happen in April 2021, subject to social distancing being a thing of the past, God willing, by then. Next clue later today! @WalkTheCourses

5 years ago I was walking for @Racingwelfare. I'm asking you now to please help them again: demand for services has never been higher & fundraising events being cancelled. They desperately need your help. Read the link &, if you possibly can please help racingwelfare.co.uk/racing-welfare…

My love of racing came from my late father, who adored the game. As this anecdote shows, he fostered a deep love of the sport from an early age & certainly wouldn’t let a minor illness get in the way! I include this and much more about him in my record of @WalkTheCourses. Enjoy!

After I completed @walkthecourses I wrote the story of the project: 82k words covering my father's love of the sport, his influence on me, what drove me to undertake the project & diary of the walk itself. Never got round to getting it published. Any interest in seeing excerpts?
