Completed the South Downs Way

It's been a few weeks since I completed the challenge, bloody knackering and I'm still finding new blisters even now! I underestimated how far I had to go and it ended up being 54.6 miles in total. Met these guys from the ThunderRunners charity trail and ultra running group just before the last few miles and it was a great encouragement to run the remainder with them, a real burst of well needed motivation. Thank you to everyone who donated and supported, I really appreciate it.

I hiked the first half of the South Downs trail from Winchester to Arundel a few months ago over the course of a few days. At the time I had no donations and decided to put a fiver in myself and call it a day. 

After I had stopped some donations came in, and I feel that as a man of my word I should finish the job.

I'll be completing the remaining ~40miles this weekend, hopefully within a 24hours.

I started out with the intention of raising awareness (or reminding) of the ongoing crisis in Palestine. I think that it's abhorrent that crimes like this can still be committed in the world today.

I'm not sure if the Red Cross is the best Charity for donating aid for Palestine in terms of efficient spending on their behalf, but they say they are providing aid, and so I chose this one.
