I walked, at the age of 70, almost 2,000 kms from the Pyrenees to Northern England. My book - "Vic's Big Walk" – is about the walk - and much else besides. "Living In The Real Cyprus" - quickly followed. Both books are now available in both e-book form and in paperback. The walk raised funds for Pancreatic Cancer research. Just click the blue donate button. All proceeds of all books go direct to the same cause. See below to read about my new fundraising project, Vic Talks The Walk

14,000 Kms
This report
http://www.wigantoday.net/lifestyle/vic_s_epic_trip_in_memory_of_wife_1_927723
in the Wigan Observer states that I walked 14,000 kms. This may take some of you by surprise as being the distance between the French Pyrenees and Blackpool.
It is only a slight error. Kilometres walked between Puivert and Blackpool totalled just under 1,900. However, the project has really been under way for more than two years and the distance covered, including extensive training, has indeed been about 14,000 kilometres.

Vic. The enormity of what you have done has just sunk in. I don't normally like to use the word proud, but I am immensely proud of you. What you have done is inspirational and has helped to make the world a lighter place.
Your little Bruv,
Septimus.
