I am now heading across Mid Wales, having set off on Sunday, 14 April, on my 650-mile LETJOG E2W walk, in aid of Parkinson’s UK, between the eastern and western extremities of the two largest islands of the British Isles – from Lowestoft in Suffolk to Dunmore Head near Dingle on the west coast of Ireland. Through this BLOG please share my journey over the next few weeks by clicking on the posts below.
The Blogs begin with the most recent, so with the ongoing adventures on my LETJOG E2W walk. You can also scroll down further to join my Ridgeway trek of last November and my LETJOG Peaks challenge to climb to the tops of all 50 English counties last spring and summer.
Going back further, for those interested, my Blogs of our R&S exertions around northern Scotland in September 2022, and of my earlier C2C and LETJOG2021 treks can also be accessed below – please just keep scrolling down to revisit my earlier walking adventures.

LETJOG E2W – Day 22: Sunday 5 May – NEWCASTLE EMLYN to NEWPORT (17.9 miles) I am now just over three weeks into my LETJOG E2W walk, having covered (assuming my maths is correct) around 380 miles. Many of you kind folk have been enquiring into my wellbeing, and I have to say that, at…
LETJOG E2W – Day 21: Saturday 4 May – LAMPETER to NEWCASTLE EMLYN (18.8 miles) Planning a long walk such as my LETJOG E2W trek involves covering some fairly substantial distances, and sometimes this means a road walk to ‘get the miles in’ rather than the ‘off-piste’ country route along fields and footpaths, woods and…
LETJOG E2W – Day 20: Friday 3 May – LLANDOVERY to LAMPETER (18.9 miles) By my reckoning, and by a number of measures, the completion of today’s wet ramble marks the approximate halfway point of my LETJOG E2W adventure. Inclusive of one Rest Day, I have now been walking for 20 days, with a similar…
LETJOG E2W – Day 19: Thursday 2 May – BUILTH WELLS to LLANDOVERY (22.8 miles) Well they say that plans made at the desk go awry quickly on the ground, and that is very much what happened to my scheduled LETJOG E2W route map for today. I had hoped to ‘hit the hills’ and to…
LETJOG E2W – Day 18: Wednesday 1 May – KINGTON to BUILTH WELLS (19.7 miles) The change in the month has brought with it an important change today in the weather for me – my first day on this LETJOG E2W walk that I have not been buffeted to some extent by a headwind! May…
LETJOG E2W – Day 17: Tuesday 30 April – LEOMINSTER to KINGTON (16.0 miles) First of all a big thanks to Chris and Mima in Cardiff, for putting me up last night on my flying visit from Leominster, and for their fun company, laundry service, and wonderful home cooking! It was really super to see…
LETJOG E2W – Day 16: Monday 29 April – BROMYARD to LEOMINSTER (14.0 miles) Our walk today, across the rolling hills of rural Herefordshire scored a high of 255 metres above sea level at Hegdon Hill, the highest altitude reached on my LETJOG E2W trek to date. Progressing westwards the terrain is getting less populated…
LETJOG E2W – Day 15: Sunday 28 April – WORCESTER to BROMYARD (16.2 miles) Some things happen for a reason, and our especially late night out in Worcester yesterday, and the ensuing lie-in this morning, allowed time for the wet weather front to blow through while we slept. Along with my brother Tim, joining me…
LETJOG E2W – Day 14: Saturday 27 April – BINTON to WORCESTER (21.7 miles) Well, I have some company tonight, my brother Tim, who is joining me on my LETJOG E2W walk for the next two days, as we travel across Worcestershire and into Herefordshire on my ever-westward path. It is great to have your…
LETJOG E2W – Day 13: Friday 26 April – HARBURY to BINTON (18.5 miles) If the Midlands are considered the centre of the country then, to me at least, the part of Warwickshire (‘Shakespeare’s County’) around Stratford-upon-Avon, that I am now traversing, might be considered the ‘Heart of England’, not just geographically but perhaps culturally…
