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

🙌 QUARTER-FINAL 🙌 TIGER ROLL (2018, 2019) 🆚 MANY CLOUDS (2015) Four weeks before Many Clouds won the Grand National in 2015, Tiger Roll finished 13th in the World Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival. Two of the most popular horses of all time do battle.

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?
