Marg's Gower 100 Mile Walk 2025
In September I’ll be embarking on my latest charity walk. It’ll be my 12th year of 100 Mile Walks and I’ll be doing it in Wales again, this time walking The Gower, to complete the Gower Pilgrimage Way plus 2 linear walks and 3 circular walks which add up to my 100 Mile target.

I’m planning to complete my 100 miles at some time between Monday 8th September 2025 and Wednesday 17th September 2025 over an 8 day period. The pilgrimage, linking all 17 historic churches in Gower, and including several chapels and other Christian sacred sites along the way, is only 50 miles so I’ve had to plan some extension walks.
Each year my supporters amaze and humble me with their generosity and again I’m raising funds for the same two charities as last year. The first is the Women’s Royal Army Corps Association, the only military 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 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 from 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 Pembrokeshire (the county of my birth) 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. Last year I visited Steph and Kevin at the facility they run in my home town, Pembroke Dock. They have turned an abandoned school building into a hive of activity, innovation and support for all those in the local community who need their help to enrich their lives.
