Setting off on Friday, April 24, from Lechlade, Alan aims to complete a journey equivalent to nearly five marathons within seven days, navigating four counties before reaching Teddington Lock on Thursday, April 30. A former Navy serviceman with 22 years of service under his belt, Alan’s naval career saw global deployments to destinations such as the Falklands, Sierra Leone, and Antarctica.
