We began 14 miles before the official start point, outside the main entrance of Southmead Hospital—where our founder Jamie spent much of his initial recovery after the 2018 accident. Leaving Bristol, we crossed the iconic Severn Bridge toward the official Gloucestershire Way starting point in Chepstow. It didn’t stop raining for the entire nine days as we walked 195km across the county, passing through the Forest of Dean, the Severn Vale and the Cotswolds. By the time we reached Tewkesbury Abbey, much of the surrounding area was under water.
