This week I am thrilled to bring to you Chris Howard - probably better known as Chris the Coast Walker.

Chris is well known to our community of long distance hikers over on UK Long Distance Hiking, thanks to his frequent updates while walking the Coastline of Britain. And about that walk. Chris Howard undertook a remarkable feat of endurance, both mentally and physically when he decided to walk 11,000 miles around Blighty. Chris set off from Heacham, Norfolk back in 2020. His plans were disrupted twice by lockdowns, but he persevered through the seasons and endless challenges.

What I found remarkable about Chris was the urgency, and spontaneity of his walking. Only 3 weeks went by after deciding to walk the coast, to Chris actually leaving. His tendency to take action quickly, and decisively on ideas and plans serve Chris well. Not only has Chris now finished his Coast Walk, he is now planning more human-powered adventures following the same route - but this time rowing as part of the GB Row Challenge. Good luck Chris!
