SWCP:End of walk

End of the long walk

This weekend, 25th June 2011, sees the end of Frank's walk of the South West Coastal Path. It culminates in the final stretch from Swanage to the end of the path at Poole Harbour which Frank hopes to be joined by up to 1000 other walkers, including some from the 11 RSS Signal Regt.

It has been walked in aid of Heroes Haven and has carried 'The Baton' throughout.
It has been supoorted by Austin Reynolds, Wilts & Dorset buses, Stagecoach amongst others and that's not mentioning the people Frank has coerced into working behind the scenes like (in no particular order) Alison, Linda, Alan, Will, Chris, Nick as well as Micky & Matt from 11 Sig Regt.

Walkers on Saturday are requested to meet on the Sandpit Field and be READY TO LEAVE at 07:30. Buses will be on hand close to the Shell mini roundabout for transport back to Swanage. Note that the buses will drop off at the north end of the beach.

Note that to be back in time for the Liberty Parade (11:00) , walkers should be capable of walking at a swift pace!

SWCP:Day 34

D34. Wed 22 Jun. 573 miles. Osmington.

The weather was due to be, well, raining! And so it was. I was up at 06:00, more reports, I shaved my head, packed up and had some cereal. Sue had made another packed lunch for me, and John had a late start.

SWCP:Day 33

D33 Tue 21 Jun. 549 Miles. Seatown.

The starting point for the day was to be the interview with the British Forces Broadcasting Service at 08:45. Our own Alan from Radio Caroline, and Hal, from BFBS, had kindly jacked this up.

SWCP:Day 32

D32 Mon 20 Jun. 536/633 miles. Seaton.

As I woke at 04:45 it was a most dreary morning. It had been a sleepless night, I had left my radio on through the night, and the wind, mist and drizzle had made it very damp.

BFBS Interview

Frank Roberts was interviewed LIVE on BFBS (British Forces Broadcasting Service) radio on 21st June about the walk.

You can listen to the interview here

You can listen to BFBS on DAB digital radio, Sky channel 0211, Freesat channel 786 or online at BFBS.com.

Patrick

Patrick joined Frank on his walk of the SWCP over the weekend of 18th & 19th June 2011.

He wasasked for a brief report on the two days which he supplied but needed some editing to remove some home truths and 'plain talking' before they could be published!

Thanks very much for them though - they made the web man laugh!

I think Patrick summed it up in his reply to me:

I had a good weekend with Frank but bloody hell, I couldn't do what he has done.
