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:
Dilanee and Philip pause for a photo
on Monarches Way, near Chipping Sodbury

In the next few weeks he is hoping to break the barefoot world record of 943 miles and on the 9th August arrive in Beaumaris, Anglesey,the end his 1000 mile barefoot challenge.
