Ways you can help

Here are a few ways you can help us with some of the practical challenges of our walk

 

Accommodation along the route

Do you know someone who can give us a bed for the night on any of the stages of the walk? Or perhaps you can recommend a not-to-expensive hostel or hotel? Please see our route plan for dates and details.

Publicity

Do you know someone at a local newspaper or radio station? Or can you spare a few minutes to write (e.g. email, text or tweet) to a journalist or DJ? Please point press contacts to our blog's home page and in particular the For Press page.

Donations in-kind

Do you have a skill or a talent we can cross-promote or sell in exchange for sponsorship? For example, a musician who can donate proceeds from sales of a song? Or a great cook, knitter, or tradesperson who can auction something to the highest bidder? There are lots of creative ways you can help us raise money without it costing you anything - please get in touch!

Feeding and Watering

We're going to be burning serious calories on this walk so having good hearty meals along the way will be essential. Some sections of the walk don't have any shops or food places so we'll need to plan where we're going to be able to get stocked up and refuelled. Please see our route plan and if you can offer or suggest where to eat, please get in touch.

Picking up and dropping off

If we need to stay overnight at the nearest large town we'll need to get from the finishing point on the walk route to the accommodation (and back to the walk route again the next morning). Can you offer transport when we're in your area? This ties in with accommodation and food, so please see the route plan for the different stages of the walk.

Moral support and encouragement

It means a lot to know you're there! Keep the tweets and messages coming in and feel free to share photos and links and make comments on our blog, Facebook and Twitter (plus this really helps spread the word). We hope to see lots of you along the way and maybe you'll even join in walking a mile or two to keep our spirits up!
