What a nice place to train 'The Beach'

dorset
Walking Along the Beach 
what a nice way to train


Distance between them is 6.8 miles


Sandbanks Beach


Thought to be Poole's number one beach, Sandbanks is the winner of more blue flag awards than any other British beach. Situated just four miles from Poole centre on the Sandbanks Peninsula the beach, a five kilometre stretch of golden sand, is a bustling haven for swimmers, children and water sports enthusiasts alike.


Southbourne Beach

On the other side of Henigstbury Head is Southbourne, home to a part-sand, part-shingle beach popular with local families and surfers. The beach is large, safe and quiet with regular bus and train services from Boscombe and easy access to cliff paths.




The distance of a return trip is 13.6 miles, this is only half the distance of the Three Peaks Challenge but what a place to start training on long distance walking.!!

Thank You Salisbury Journal for the support

 
Challenge inspired by Grandparents

An adventurer from Middle Winterslow is preparing to take on the three highest mountains in Britain to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support. 

Challenge inspired by grandparents Chris Brown, 28, hopes undertaking the Three Peaks Challenge in August next year, will raise around £3000 for the charity.

He said: “I’m doing this event for my dad and my late granddad who both had skin cancer, my gran who had breast cancer and my other granddad who has been diagnosed with lung cancer.
“My grandparents mean a lot to me as they were there when I was growing up, we spent most of our summers with them and they were always there for us when we needed them.”
