Welcome to the blog of my walk around the coastline of Great Britain. My name is Alan Palin and I was born in Wellington, Shropshire where I currently live.
Over a number of years I intend to walk the whole coastline of Great Britain in a series of stages. I have been an avid walker for many years, but my quest for completing this challenge is quite new even though I began walking the coast some years ago, 2001 to be precise, this is when I completed my first walk on the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path (PCP). I had no intention, at the time, to undertake such a mammoth challenge even after I had completed the South West Coastal Path (SWCP) and the Norfolk Coastal path (NCP). It was only while walking the Wales Coast Path(WCP) that I thought I could go on and walk not only “this scepter’d isle” but the coastlines of both Cymru and fair Alba.
