French Rock Salt Wins The Day: Mark Malkin

Completed my first crossing yesterday (18.04.26) with Kathy Finkel’s LWW crossing group – ticking off a bucket list endeavour at the age of 65 was fantastic! The whole day (and very early start) was fantastic if tiring but so so worth it  – even took in the 3 sisters on route ! Managed to complete before the need for a head torch which enjoyed being carried for 40 miles!! Touch of cramp at 32 miles quickly cured by dose of French Rock Salt! 

I swear that communications mast at Ravenscar was being moved back as we tried to reach it – Ha! Highly recommend if able!

Regards
