Barefoot man seen travelling through Cornwall is running 900-miles to Scotland on 'sustainability

By Cornwall Live

An environmentalist is running a 900-mile route from Land's End to John O'Grouts barefoot, in a 30-day journey he is calling the 'sustainability barefoot adventure'.

Tony Riddle, a 47-year-old dad of three (soon to be four), kicked off his run on Sunday (September 1) from Land's End, the most westerly point of mainland UK and is running to John O'Grouts, the most northerly point.

He is covering 30 miles per day for 30 days and along the way hopes to raise £30,000 for six environmental organisations that he will be meeting along the way - including Cornwall based Surfers Against Sewage.

Running from Lands End to John O'Grouts would be quite a quest if he is starting in September. The weather here has been lousy and I have just had a 3 week sample of it and am longing to get back to Australia for some springtime running.
I wish him the best of luck as I think he will need it.

Why can't it always be spring? :happy:
