I know, it's been too long, but life interrupted my plans . 🤷♀️Day 4 Finish point
Today's blog will be written tomorrow 😁Day 3 finish point 4/9/22
This is our stop point on 4/9/22. In the beautiful village of Sannox. From here the island will become much more built upon and even more cars 😱 Thankfully there will be pavements through the villages. Hopefully, also people will stop and have a chat, and I can raise the profile of Combat Stress 👍🚶♀️🐕Stunning
The views are amazing
Those hills are hiiiigh!
LOCHRANZA TO SANNOXWe'll have a lot of these
Lazy/recovery day today. Giving the body a chance to recover. The ice bath last night has helped a bit, but this is a marathon , not a sprint.Meg is tired
The views are great 😁👍

Oops! I messed up 👣🩹🩹🩹
So yesterday was the start of the walk, but I messed up. I am the embodiment of 'no sense, no feeling'. 🙄Day 1 Finish 7.05 miles
I am raising vital funds for life-changing mental health treatment for veterans.
I am a Veteran injured in Service. I intend walking round Arran for Combat Stress the UK's leading charity for veterans' mental health Due to my physical challenges I do not know how long it will take, but I will do it!
Whilst Serving I was injured physically and mentally. I struggle with my physical injuries every day, but the most difficult injuries to get help with, are my mental health injuries. This is where Combat Stress comes in..
For over a century, they've helped former servicemen and women deal with issues like trauma, anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. Today, they provide support to Veterans from every service and every conflict.
Without Combat Stress many Veterans would not be here. So I’m literally taking vital steps towards ensuring Veterans can get the support they need.
Thank you so much for your support.

Grace Gillespie
Today , at the start of today's walk, I met a very nice lady in Lochranza. Her name is Grace Gillespie. She lives in Milngavie, but is staying,at her holiday home in Catacol. I don't have an email for her to send a receipt for her donation, but I'm perhaps someone might read this and pass the thanks along. She told me all about her grandfather, how he was missing presumed dead at Ypres, how he had been a POW, and discharged suffering from 'shell shock'. As we parted company she gave me this £2 donation, for the cause. Thank you.
You can do this!!
