If you intend to join us on our walk, please read this
Firstly, thank you for taking the time to follow our journey.
We are simply 3 Dads taking on a walk in memory of our beautiful daughters. We are so grateful for your support and understand that some of you may want to wish us well over the course of the three and a half weeks.
If you join us, you will be responsible for your own, food, drink, equipment and transport. We will not be held responsible for any accident, injury or loss occurred as a result of anyone attempting to support us along the way. If you choose to walk with us at any point then you do so at your own risk.
Our route has been meticulously planned to account for a predetermined number of hours walking each day and also considers the limited daylight time hours we have. This means that we will need to keep moving as much as possible and will be unable to slow down or stop too frequently.
On most days we plan to start walking at 7.30am - we will confirm start times nearer to the days we walk and will post any change of plan as soon as possible.
Thank you for your understanding.
Andy, Mike and Tim - 3 Dads Walking
