Philip has completed this walk.
WELL DONE !
Now is the time to send in your sponsorship money.
For the next few weeks I am dedicating my website and this webpage to
Philip Tomes
He is making a 625 mile coastal hike around Somerset,Devon, Cornwall and Dorset, from Minehead to Bournemouth Pier.
in aid of charity for the
Wiltshire Air Ambulance Appeal

Philip is devoting his personal free time over the next few weeks to make this multi-marathon rugged costal path walk on behalf of his chosen charity .
Sponsorship forms ( on this site - or see above navigation buttons ) &may be available from your local & Salisbury Library.
Philip is Community Librarian at Salisbury and makes many brilliant, sometimes daily, observations en-route being able to express his thoughts and findings in an interesting and entertaining way which are then posted into his "blog " for us all to read.
I am certain that if you, the reader of this page, are in a position to promote this effort, either by way of publicity or donations to his chosen charity, Philip would be overjoyed with your support.
How many of us would do both, give up our free time and make a physically punishing effort, to support a good cause.??
O.K. we would, and do, donate,( which means that we have given our working time for that money ), but mainly when the mood takes us. Or we make regular tax efficient donations, but to go out there, perform strenuous activities that bring in donations on a larger combined scale, sacrifice many personal hours, takes a special person.
You can make a reply/comment on his blog to encourage him onwards and give support.
Watch his route online by using on-line mapping by Google http://www.googlemaps.com and select the " satellite " view.
Enter the town or village, he talks about, or in his itinerary, into the " search " box and zoom in or out with the " + " and " - " tools.
The coastal path is the thin wiggly white/black line on the land edge, being closest to the sea.
Philip will finish his walk, probably at Bournemouth pier. ( expected date to be Sat. 31st. May.)
Although this is not his home town, Bournemouth is where he was born and his close knit family reside.
Have you an interesting & entertaining article, humorous or serious, that you consider would expand on Philip as a person & his hike along the South West Coast Path ??
Please email it to David Dorrell on dsador@ddhp.co.uk
If you write it out , max of 100 words, I can add it to this page for you and give other visitors something interesting to dwell on .
Keep them legs pounding Philip !
