Sponsored walk
A Blaenavon woman is aiming to do the first ‘ultimate’ walk from Land’s End to John O’Groats by avoiding as many main roads as possible. Carlie Beavan and her boyfriend Edward Matts, are planning a unique 1000 mile route through countryside along the length of the UK.
The couple are starting the walk in July and hope to raise £3000 in total for the Marie Curie Cancer Care and the Alzheimer’s society.
Carlie said: "Ed and I have lots of experience with walking. I am from Blaenavon and have always made the most of the surrounding hills. Ed is an officer in the TA and so he is used to walking, orienteering and surviving the outdoors. We hope this will be the first time anyone has walked the length of the UK not following the main roads. Our target of raising £3500 is ambitious so we need as many people as possible to sponsor us."
You can sponsor them through their two official websites, one for each charity.
