Apologies all, The Wanderer adventures have been ongoing but over on Facebook and Instagram! But I did it!! One of the most frequent queries I’ve received (other than why!?) is just how far did you walk and did it match what you planned. Have a look 🤦🏻‍♂️ justgiving.com/page/operation…

🚨 One week today 🚨 On 29 June, I start my next epic stomp. I’ll be at Celtic Park to then head south for 300ish mile 🚨 Sponsor me 🚨 I’d love to be over the 50% mark before I leave and I’m sooooo close justgiving.com/page/operation… #OneWeek #Celtic #ManchesterUnited #stokecity

First 𝘷𝘭𝘰𝘨 in a while Feeling drained and achy in my muscles, joints n bones for some reason, more than the usual Ehlers Danlos. But need to stroll, even if I can’t stomp justgiving.com/page/operation… #walk #sponsor #sponsoredwalk #charity #walkingandtalking #walkingsbrilliant

Time to plan It’s official, all stopovers are now locked in, the route is set…. Operation: Bearded Wanderer - Skip to my Lou is a go!! A huge thank you to those that have helped my secure my stopovers, you are amazing people ❤️ justgiving.com/page/operation… #walk #sponsor

A huge thanks to Bev for being the 15ᵗʰ donator to this latest Operation: Bearded Wanderer I’d love to smash my target on this one before I hang up my 𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘨 boots once I’ve done the walk! If you’re able, please donate below: justgiving.com/page/operation… #walk #sponsor

After a huge marathon of a stomp the day before, I start day 13 on 11th July at Old Trafford. Rather fitting that Lou, The Macari Foundation’s patron had an amazing career from 1973-1984 for @ManUtd . I might also try and find time to visit Lou’s famous chippy too

Whilst I finish the route planning, here’s where I’ll be starting this mammoth adventure On Sunday 29ᵗʰ June my trip south starts at @CelticFC Remembering where the patron of The Macari Foundation, Lou Macari, started his football career as a youth, way back in 1966.

Planning is going very well but with not all of the stopovers locked in quite yet. However, it’s almost set in stone. In-fact if anyone wants to help with stopovers please drop me a line #TheRoute #planning #walk #sponsor #sponsoredwalk #charity #stomp #walkingandtalking
