Mike Armstrong has completed another countryside walking challenge to raise more than £1,000 for the Association.
The 63-year-old above-knee amputee, who walked the distance of Hadrian’s Wall last year, has tackled the 75-mile Cumbrian Way through the rugged Lake District.
“There were some tough stretches where the paths were very uneven, but the scenery was breathtaking and I chose my days so that I was generally walking in good weather,” said Mike, who served with the King’s Own Royal Border Regiment TA before suffering an accident in 2002. He split the route from Ulverston to Carlisle into 11 stages, and completed them between July and September, raising £1,169.
“I enjoyed the challenge and am delighted to have raised some funds for Blesma,” he added.
