801 miles complete... the Barefoot Poet continues his trek!

Philip Wells @theFIREpoet has now arrived in Wales as he continues his 1,000 mile trek across our country in aid of the world’s ‘Barefoot Billion’.

His feet are now toughened and for the most part he is coping well with the difficult terrain of the Welsh mountains but exhaustion is setting in.  The end is almost in sight. His biggest struggle now is to ‘Bethestep’ right to the finishing line. Highlights from the past few weeks:
