2024 Walking South Pembrokeshire

Marg Davies' Solo 100 Mile Charity Walk 2024

In the end of April I’ll be embarking on my 2024 solo charity walk. It’ll be my 11th year and I’ll be doing my walk in Wales, returning to my home-county, to walk around & between the castles & fortifications of South Pembrokeshire. I’m planning to complete my 100 miles between Thursday 25th April 2024 and Thursday 2nd May 2024.  

My Route during the Walk
Each year my supporters amaze and humble me with their generosity and again I’m raising funds for two charities. The first is the Women’s Royal Army Corps Association, the only veteran’s charity set up specifically to cater for the needs of female veterans. Females are often the forgotten ‘heroes’ - forgotten by society in general but also frequently under-resourced by ‘Veteran’ society as well. The WRAC Association gives not only financial support to female army veterans but also provides emotional support to a section of our community that often suffers isolation and loneliness. The WRAC Association is a safe haven where female veterans can find the support and friendship that is often all that is required to overcome their difficulties.

My second charity is a local Pembrokeshire charity, the V C Gallery, CEO Barry John MBE who served 20 years as a soldier and set up the charity to combat loneliness and social isolation for veterans & community. As a veteran myself I am only too aware of how fortunate I am and how difficult and lonely it can be to transition from military to civilian life.

This year I am returning to my usual plan of starting at point A (near Amroth Castle) & finishing, 8 days later, at point B (Lawrenny Quay) I hope to be able to call in to the VC Gallery, Pembroke Dock on the 7th day.
