Around Rutland County & Water 2026

 About my 2026 walk

This year my walk will take place between 17th - 24th April 2026 when I'll literally be walking “Round Rutland”, the smallest county in England, and then walking around Rutland Water itself. I've also planned another short walk to make it up to my normal 100 mile target. The older I become the more challenging it gets trying to find a suitable 100 mile walk. There are even more factors to take into consideration, not just for me walking solo, but also so that my back-up (Denise) doesn't have to do as much driving each day. So I decided to walk around the old, small but perfectly formed county of Rutland, squashed between Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire & Cambridgeshire. I was hoping it would be reasonably flat and compact. Compact? Yes, but flat? Sadly, not so much! 


This year my 2 charities will remain the same, the WRAC Association and the VC Gallery in Pembrokeshire who both do such fantastic work with military veterans and their local communities. It is thanks to these two organisations that I am inspired to continue with my 100 Mile Charity Walks in my 75th year!!!
