00:00 Okay.
00:02 Six years ago, I stood in this very spot,
00:04 and I had the epiphany to walk the entire UK coastline.
00:08 At the time, I had no idea what to expect.
00:11 I had £10, two days worth of rations,
00:14 but there was something inside me that just really, really, really had this drive and urge
00:18 to go and walk the UK coast, and I had no idea what to expect, like I said.
00:22 Here I am now, six years later, sitting in the same spot,
00:26 a completely different man,
00:28 and I've just been raised, well, £500,000 for the amazing veterans charity, SAFRA,
00:33 who supported me in my time of need.
00:36 They're an amazing charity, and I can honestly say I couldn't be prouder to be doing it for them.
00:40 All of the experiences that I've had along the way,
00:43 I really, really couldn't sit for a whole day and tell you I'd have to spend years.
00:47 The amount of amazing people, the amount of amazing coastline,
00:50 the support and the love that I've seen along the way has just been so special
00:54 that even now as I'm talking to you, I feel like welling up.
00:57 Today is the last day, and I'll be honest with you, I really, really don't know what to say.
01:02 It's just been the most remarkable adventure, the adventure of a lifetime, if you like.
01:06 And to think that I started this on my own, and then I met my beautiful dog Jet nine months into the journey,
01:12 my now fiancée Kate three years into the journey, and then to have our little boy Magnus.
01:18 If you would have asked me six years ago if I'd have had the perfect ending,
01:22 that wouldn't have even been in it. It's far exceeded that.
01:25 Look, before I well up, I just want to say a massive thank you to Saffir for all of their love and support.
01:32 And I want to thank everybody out there that has helped in any way, whether it be a small cup of tea,
01:37 a fiver, an offer of a shed or a garage. I can't tell you the difference it's made.
01:41 But one of the greatest things about this journey is the fact that it's shown that there are amazing people out there.
01:46 Yeah, I'm going to cry now, so I'm going to go.
01:49 But either way, thank you, Saffir, for your support and love.
01:52 I can't have done this without you. I probably wouldn't be standing here without you or sitting here even.
01:58 Yeah, it's time to go and walk the last mile. Bye for now.
