Coastal walker ’Jim’ due back home next week Jim ‘I may be gone a while’ Morton, who is attempting to visiting every lighthouse on mainland coastline Britain, is nearing the ‘finishing-line’ of his epic coastline walk.
‘on-foot’ across the northern coastline of Wales. Jim expects to make his final few steps of his coastline walk on September 30, arriving back in Penistone at 2.30pm.
The 62-year-old began an adventure of a lifetime in his quest to visit every lighthouse on mainland Great Britain, by foot. A dream he has held ever since his father back in 1967 bought a young ‘Jim’ a Road Map of Great Britain.
The last leg begins at Dunford Bridge in the morning, where Jim will be walking on the Trans Pennine Trail towards a finishing point of The Cafe, in the station's good’s yard next to the bike repair shop near Tesco.
His journey began in April 2021, and he now has the finish line in sight as he heads his way
He has completed the ‘three peaks’ challenge in under 500 days. That’s reaching the sum-
mits of England, Scotland and Wales. On a wet and miserable day, as Jim put it on his daily vlog, September 12, Jim reached the summit of Snowdon, 499 days after he had first ascended Scafell Pike in England, and in between Ben Nevis in Scotland. You can follow Jim’s progress on facebook and instagram ‘i may be gone a while’ with Jim hoping to raise £50,000 for Gurkha Welfare Trust. https://www.justgiving.com/ fundraising/richard-morton11
