MAN ON 7,000-MILE
TREK AROUND THE COAST OF MAINLAND BRITAIN ARRIVES IN Brixham
Nat
Severs, a 23-year-old Zoology graduate from Portsmouth, is
currently walking around the entire coastline of mainland
Britain and he arrives in Brixham tomorrow (25th Jan). Nat
is raising money for the Stroke Association, the Mammal Society
and Southampton General Hospital's Paediatric Physiotherapy
department.

The 7,000 mile journey
covers every inch of coast and will take around 340 days to
complete. He set out from Portsmouth on 10 January. Accompanied
only by a large rucksack carrying his tent and kit, Nat will
be camping most nights and is hoping to raise at least £1,000
each for the three charities.
|
| The entire journey will be completed
using his own leg power (so no ferry journeys or bus rides) and
if there is a bridge, he will be crossing it (so Anglesey and
the Isle of Skye will both be on the agenda). |

Nat
says: “I am really looking forward to walking through Brixham
and seeing what it has to offer. I am told it is one of Britain's
best seaside resorts and will be armed with my camera ready
to capture it. If you see me, feel free to come and say hello!”
|
“I had the idea for the walk a few years ago and I have now
reached a point in my life where I can make it a reality. Britain
boasts some of the best coastline in the world and it is a privilege
to be able to walk along it each day.
