The EndPoint Walk Part 1

- This is Part 1 of 4 videos that are being produced to document a journey from Land's End to Ness Point raising money for the British Heart Foundation.
In the early hours of 15.07.19 Alan Warrington suffered an out of hospital cardiac arrest. Due to the life saving intervention by Joanne Johnstone, the speedy ambulance attendance, quick intervention by the attending paramedics and wonderful care in the University Hospital of Wales, Cardiff, Alan has made an amazing and life fulfilling recovery. Alan was really fortunate to have received help in time and we hope that our walk linking the most westerly and easterly points of England can raise awareness of how important it is to help those suffering with a cardiac arrest.
Alan has always enjoyed the outdoors throughout his life, and in particular has enjoyed running and walking and long distance walking. He has walked the length of each of the 19 national trails in the United Kingdom, and has backpacked many other trails including the Dales High Way, Stanza Stones Trail and the White Horse Trail to name just a few.
Exactly four years after that life changing day, Alan and his friend David Morgan will leave Lands End and embark on a month long adventure. Their walk, called the "End Point Walk", will see them walk 580 miles across southern England and finish at Ness Point in Suffolk. They will be raising money for the British Heart Foundation, a charity that funds so much research into heart and circulatory diseases in the UK. The British Heart Foundation focusses their efforts on accelerating discovery and turning discoveries into life-saving medical advances.
Alan and David know that financially times are tight but ask that if anyone wishes to support their fund-raising activity to donate as much as people can afford to help fund the work that the British Heart Foundation does. David and Alan recognise that you might not be able to afford to help at the moment, if so perhaps you could share the fundraising page.

Just brilliant.
Some familiar landmarks chaps. Well done.
Thanks Andrew. Despite some of the path issues, it is a scenic walk!
Well done Alan and Dave, another excellent film of an epic adventure. I suspect there will be many more overgrown paths to come. Take care and enjoy the walk.
Many thanks Rob. Really appreciate you taking the time to comment. Get well soon mate.
Real shame that so many footpaths in Cornwall were in bad condition or even blocked off. I hope Devon was generally better for you. Epic hike as always.
Yes, Devon was definitely better but still very overgrown in places. It didn't truly start to settle down until we reached Wiltshire and from there on, everything worked really well.
So glad you have chosen to video the walk Dave. Great way to raise monies and awareness of the charity and nice to see you linking the cpr video also. It really does sound like you are having a great time & welcome throughout Cornwall, fab to hear. Wow £2.5k... I am sure I looked recently and it was on £850... great going! As ever on your walks you always seem to record great footage and it gets me opening os mapping to see your route - there was a clip of Alan at 12:18 with a distance view of a pointy hill, do you recall what it was? Loved the pics at the end, lovely way to show those generous donators. Looking forwardto next weeks video - hope the weather is not too bad for you. atb both.
Hi Alan. You are so kind with your words mate. Thank you soooo much. So pleased that you enjoyed the video.
The hill you refer to is East Brent Tor!!
@@morgs4mountains thank Dave... had the map out but couldnt pinpoint it. Good luck.
Near Mary Tavy Alan!!
Great video and fabulous scenery. Nasty looking stinging nettles though!! 😮 enjoying following your progress 💪🏻
Thanks Clare. That's why a bit more road walking has been required. Bridleways have been good but some of the paths have been awful.
