Well the walk is the reason I do this thing. Though to be truthful I've had a complete rest for a week and a troublesome bruised rib has meant strenous excercise is best left alone. Probably a good thing as I have been over-doing it a bit recently.
The last walk I did was from my brother's flat in the heart of Brigthon up to the Devil's Dyke n back. So I think that was about 12 miles all told. All Brightonians will know Southover Street and I also climbed to my brother's flat which is on the 13th floor of a block of flats. So that was all good. Sounds quite boring when yo write it down.
The Friday before I walked from my house across to Bramley and down the Downs Link as far I could go towards Brighton. I got as far as Partride Green before chafing mainly and jelly legs forced me to stop. My brother reckoned that was 30 miles so I was chuffed about that.
The break has been good but I'm itching to keep up the training.
Anybody got any good tips about chafing. Any thoughts please post or email me.
keep on truckin'

the coast path at thurlestone
Hello, my name is David Woolford. In September 2007 I walked the South West Coast Path in the UK. It is 630 miles long and runs from Minehead in Somerset around the South West peninsula to Poole in Dorset. I was raising as much money as possible on this walk for three charities. The British Heart Foundation, the NSPCC and Rethink. In the end I raised around £850. I have memorries of the region which will live with me forever. I hope to do it again one day.

About Me
- David Woolford
- I am 38 years old. In recovery from a nervous breakdown and diagnosis of clinical depression. I have suffered from delusional and paranoid thoughts as well, which make normal life extremely difficult. This is the main reason why I have decided to do this walk as an aid to my recovery. However I would like to raise as much money as possible for the charities I have nominated as well.

I've tried a few things for chafing, they work to various degrees - talcum powder is quite effective; vaseline, E45 cream or the like also works quite well; padded cycling shorts are also quite good
hope this helps Dave
cheers
Graham
