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

Viva Columbia
The donation which put the fund over 100% was one from Columbia Sportswear.
Columbia have been unbelievably supportive to me during this project. My association with them is not as a result of their sponsorship - it is the other way round. I have been using Columbia kit for years, and was in touch with them to praise their clothes and especially their walking shoes. As a result, they decided to support me with kit, with promotion on their website, with press releases, and also by providing the decoration for the team vehicle.
As I said, I have always been happy with their kit and have nothing but praise for all the clothes they provided for Vic's Big Walk, but I would single out the Mobex backpack for a special mention. This bag is incredibly light when empty, comfortable and practical to use and has numerous other advantages which you can see by watching this short film:
