I fu**ed up. I was supposed to post an update over a week ago but completely forgot about you.
I came home a few weeks back to wash myself and my stuff after three consecutive mornings of waking up in puddles. The morning after I got home my feet kept swelling up like balloons, and they kept doing so every day for over 3 weeks.
It took that long for me to hear back from a doctor who just told me to take pills for any pain or swelling. At that point I only had a week until the deadline I’d set and there’s no chance of getting the south coast done in a week, with or without daps.
So, I called it at Goodwick, from Chester, 486 miles walked, 297 miles bare, over 32 days moving.
The reason I was supposed to post this last week was firstly because prior to that I didn’t have a useful update to give & secondly to say that I’d be keeping the fundraiser open for a couple more weeks since a few people had said they’re waiting to make a donation. I’ll give it about a week and i’ll be shutting shop and sending it over to FareShare.
Thank you to everyone who got involved digitally and those I met along the way who helped make this walk what it was, it was an experience to say the least.
With that, I’m off to the caves to prepare for the next one.
Mar sin leibh an-dràsta, fother muckers 👋🏼
