Vic’s Big Walk
A grandfather goes for a walk from SW France to NW England…
Last year Craig the then Rohan Ambleside Manger now Regional Manager, told us about a chance meeting he had in Rohan Ambleside with Vic Heaney.
Vic lives in the Pyrenees and he told Craig he was planning to walk from his home in the Pyrenees to the house where he was born, in Blackpool. That’s 2,000 miles. The objective was for him to do the walk in seventy days, thereby arriving on his seventieth birthday. It was to be a charity walk and the funds would be for pancreatic cancer research – he lost his first wife to this horrible disease.
Craig has just told us Vic completed his walk and has just published his story of the 2000 mile walk with his e-book. The title of the book is Vic’s Big Walk, every purchase will help him to raise more funds to help conquer pancreatic cancer.
Vic told Craig…
“By the way, I really needed that Rohan waterproof cape I bought from you. Out of 44 days I walked in France, only 5 were without rain”
Congratulations Vic - What’s Next?

Thanks Matt. I passed very close to Winchester and stayed overnight at the campsite next to the Holiday Inn.
You can find the book by going to Amazon Kindle, Apple iBooks or iTunes, Barnes & Noble Nook, and soon on Sony Reader. Just search my name Vic Heaney or the name of the book Vic’s Big Walk.
For less than the price of a couple of coffees you get what I am told is a good read and you also make a donation. All the proceeds go not to me but to pancreatic cancer research.
Congratulations Vic! Wow that was quite a challenge. I did something similar a couple of years ago and it was so liberating to do nothing but walk all day only worrying about when to eat and where to sleep, it really focusses your mind. I bet you have quite a few stories to tell.

P.s. If anyone in the Winchester area is planning something similar we would love to hear from you and exchange stories and advice. So drop in to 24 The Square, opposite the Museum.
