Elaine's 1500 Mile Walk
Event dates: 1st January 2022 – 31st December 2022
Elaine Trim is raising money for Guide Dogs and Treloar's
My story
Many of you know I love a Challenge and like to push myself. I don't do easy which is why I will walk 1500 miles during 2022; that's 4.1miles each and every single day for the whole year (or 6.6km for those who like metric).
I have chosen 2 charities to support, Treloar's, where I work, is a school and college for severely disabled children and young adults. The students are truly inspirational and can't is not a word in their vocabulary. So I figured, if they can, so can I!
I am also supporting Guide Dogs as being severely visually impaired, it is a charity close to my heart. They help many blind and visually impaired adults and children like myself retain their independence at work, at home and when out and about and enable them to lead a fulfilling and happy life.
Every little helps both of these fantastic charities so please donate what you can, a few pennies or a few £'s. it all adds up and will help so many.
Thank you all, Elaine xx

Well I did it!!! I actually completed the 1500 miles on 20th October 2022 and my total for the year ended up being over 1750 miles, which is just over 2800 km. I absolutely loved doing this challenge and despite a couple of minor injuries and niggles, I will keep on walking.
My husband and I have seen some beautiful stunning places travelling around the UK in our campervan: we’ve experienced snow, torrential downpours, hail, baking hot sunshine and everything in between. We’ve got covered in mud, slipped in various animal droppings, been chased by sheep and goats, been pooed on by more than one seagull (I have absolutely no idea why this is considered good luck?!), a horse tried to eat my backpack and we’ve been stalked closely by a not very happy looking bull as we crossed his field. We’ve sampled and enjoyed lots of yummy local foods around the country and downed a fair few pints of cold cider (usually after a full day of walking). We have thoroughly enjoyed walking around the country, even when our feet and knees felt like they could not walk another step and are looking forward to doing more, with our first trip abroad in our campervan this year.

I'm nearly there....
Our last long weekend away in Dixie, our campervan, took us to Stratford-Upon-Avon where we visited Shakespeare's House, walked along the River Avon and enjoyed some yummy food.
My total now stands at just over 1400 miles, so I have less than 100 miles to go to reach my target!!!
A big thank you to all those who have donated or sent me likes and thumbs up on my posts. Please keep sharing my page with friends and family. I will keep on walking......

It's been a while since my last update. We have enjoyed a couple of trips away in our campervan with a fair few walks.
The most stunning was during our trip up North and walking part of Hadrian's Wall in Northumberland. We thought it would be like walking along a stone wall in a regular field!!! Oh no?!! There were lots of ups and downs with steep sections of cobbly stones to transverse but once we completed our section (having walked over 20km that day) and made it to the local pub for a well earned pint of cold cider, we decided that it was an amazing walk and well worth the achy knees and feet.
