The Why Not? Blog

At the tender age of 25 Dave started skateboarding. 14 months later he became the first person to skate the length of Britain. Another 8 months on he had crossed Australia on his board, breaking a world record & raising over £20,000 for three charities. Now, at 27, he's writing his first book, is a motivational speaker and a businessman, and he's only just gotten started on a lifetime of challenges which from the outside look just darn crazy. So, why? You know the answer, don't you. Why not?

Day 19: 10:25am

Hard decision. We're going to have a rest day. Hobbling to the toilet. Worrying about making miles up. Exhausted from the pain. A rest day today means we're two days behind schedule. All I can think of is getting to Land's End late with no-one there to celebrate with. Dim and Holly are tapping away on laptops working out medical solutions. We're amending the route map, calling chiropodists.

Eileen from the Clairmont Guest House here in Telford has given us a room for another night. We're so grateful. Hopefully a day of rest will give us all a new lease of life. Strangers and friends from all over the world are writing in with blister and muscle treatments and words of support, thanks so much to all of you.

Will continue to update today.
