Hundred Mile hike for Charity.

Martello Tower on the Coastal Path

Graham Newman who is a Cabinet Member at the County Council and who is also the Mayor of Felixstowe is today embarking on a fund raising hike from Cattawade to Lowestoft.  This is a 100 mile walk which takes in the Stour and Orwell and the Suffolk Coast Path Walks.  Accompanying Graham will be his 12 year old daughter, Rebecca.

Graham writes:  ‘This is not a Lesley Dolphin-style exercise of walking the whole route without stopping - we will be doing a gentle 15 miles or so per day, taking the whole week to do it, starting each day from the point at which we previously left off.’ 

All proceeds from sponsorship of the walk will be donated to the Mayor’s Charities, which this year are the Level 2 Youth Project and the Felixstowe Citizens Advice Bureau.

It is now too late to join Graham on the first part of the walk, but he is inviting walkers to join him on August 16th at 10 a.m. as he starts the Suffolk Coast Path walk from the car park at Felixstowe's Landguard Fort, pictured below
