Poet Craig Bradley "That Poetry Bloke" is walking from Land's End to John O'Groats raising money for the NSPCC!

On June the 23rd, poet Craig Bradley "That Poetry Bloke", starts his walk from Lands End to John O'Groats performing his poems in schools along the way. 

Craig's walk has been scheduled passing through town after town from Truro, Taunton, Nailworth, Wilmslow and Lancaster to Coniston, Moffat, Glasgow, Inverness and Bora on his amazing 979 mile walk from Land's End to John O'Groats! Craig finishes his challenge on the 22nd August performing at a school assembly on Thurso.

Craig is hoping to raise as much cash as possible for the NSPCC and if you'd like to donate you can do so by donating at either www.justgiving.com/thatpoetrybloke or you can donate by texting POET64 with the amount you'd like to donate to 70070.  Anything you are able to give would be hugely appreciated. Please do share this with as many people as you can!

Craig will be blogging and Twittering along the way - you can follow him @ThatPoetryBloke.

ALSO - BBC Radio Leeds will be broadcasting a poem from the walk EVERY DAY on the Andrew Edwards' DriveTime show (Mon-Fri) at around 5.45pm and on Jonny I'Anson's weekend show (Sat-Sun), so tune in if you can!

Needless to say, we wish Craig lots of luck with his fundraising walk!

Poet Craig Bradley's Big Welsh Charity Walk for ClicSargent

 

On Monday 14th May Craig will be setting off on the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path Walk to once again raise money for the fantastic charity ClicSargent (www.clicsargent.org.uk). He will be walking 186 miles aiming to finish on Saturday 26th May.  Along the way he will be calling into 8 primary schools to perform in assembly raising money as he goes (and again he will be camping on school playing fields, getting up early and scaring the cleaners!).

 

It would be fantastic if you could sponsor Craig - please visit his just giving page www.justgiving.com/craig-bradley.  Any donation, no matter how big or small, will be greatly appreciated, every penny counts.  Last year on the Coast 2 Coast Walk Craig raised an amazing £1,500 in total which is brilliant!

 

Craig has checked the weather forecast and he expects a flurry of blisters and an outbreak of backache!!
