Fundraiser Tim and his dog Monty are set to check out Burnham-On-Sea throughout an amazing trek around the whole UK shoreline.
33 year-old Tim Jones, from Exmouth, and his 20-month old Staffordshire Bull Terrier, Monty, triggered on their 8,000 mile journey on January 20th,
Tim and Monty are walking ‘clockwise’ around the shoreline while going to as lots of lifeboat stations as possible along the method. He intends to raise £500,000 for the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI).
On March 30th, year 4 students from Lympsham Academy school will be conference Tim and Monty at Burnham-On-Sea RNLI and after that will stroll along the beach with him.
It is hoped that the kids will have the ability to make it 6km, level with Brean Leisure Park.
Speaking about the walk, which is anticipated to use up to 6 years to finish, Tim says: “The walk is something I’ve wanted to achieve for a few years but circumstances have prevented me.”
“I’ve always admired the difficult work of the RNLI volunteers and so choosing an appropriate charity to support was fairly easy.”
Tim includes: “The route I’m taking will, I hope, include the Isle of Man and the Scottish Islands and I’ll be relying solely on the goodwill of the public to support me along the way in whatever way they can.”
“There are a lot of ‘estimates’ of the distance involved, but we’ll be doing the Islands and expect it to be about 8,000 miles.”
“We’re not limited for time, but expect it to take 4 to 6 years. We will be living in a tent, and getting food and water where we can, as I’m trying to keep weight down.”
Since both Tim and Monty will be relying entirely on the kindness of complete strangers, contributions are welcome.
You can contribute to Tim and Monty’s ‘survival’ Just Giving page to help money their journey.
