"ALL MORGANS' DAY"

Sunday 25th May 2014

We have once again been fortunate and reserved the lovely National Trust Waddesdon Manor, in Buckinghamshire for the 3rd "ALL MORGANS' DAY" to be held on Sunday 25th May 2014 Sponsored by The Morgan Centenary Roadster 100 Register.

For those of you unfamiliar with Waddesdon Manor, please take a look at their website:

Once again, we shall be supporting our chosen charity, Help For Heroes, the wonderful charity helping our Brave Service Personnel to overcome health problems and devastating war injuries.

Parking in front of the magnificent Waddesdon Manor is available to all Morgan owners in return for a Donation of at least £5 to the Help for Heroes fund. Contact David Harris at:

The new Morgan Three Wheelers are bound to be a big attraction again in 2014 with over 1000 manufactured so far and we have arranged exclusive parking for them so that they can be viewed "en masse".

The Generous Morgan Community last year raised £2583.38.

The Morgan Centenary Roadster 100 Register looks forward to seeing everyone there, either as a visitor or with your Morgan Car Booked In and Enhancing the Display.

Around Britain on a Mobility Scooter

It was only a few weeks ago that I got to learn about this Challenge using a 'Tramper' Mobility Scooter & Sleeping Trailer along with his two pet cats as passengers.

Sadly, as yet, I do not know the gentlemans name. I will add it in here once I find it.  

Ah! His Name is Mark Newton

A brief history from the Donations Website

In 1991 whilst attached to the United Nations in Cyprus I suffered a life changing injury to my right leg. In 2009 my condition had deteriorated to the point where walking was painfully difficult, it was suggested to me that I contact SSAFA to see if they are able to help, they did all the form filling and ringing around to get me a mobility scooter, 1 The Queens Dragoon Guards (my old Regiment) and The Royal British Legion came up with the money to pay for it. I was then made redundant in August 2010, instead of sitting around and doing nothing I started planning a trip 'Round Wales', this took place during May and June of 2011 and covered more than 1450 miles and raised just over £9000 for 1 The Queens Dragoon Guards, Help for Heroes and The Royal British Legion.

Before even finishing that I had already started planning this trip in my mind. I added SSAFA to the list after I embarrassingly forgot them on my first trip! I added the Royal National Lifeboat Institution so that I had goals other than the end of each day, they are also in my eyes unsung heroes just as the forces are! This is still to come

I fund my trips with the little money I have left from my War Pension and the generosity of the British people and Businesses

I got my scooter on the 23 December 2009 after a lot of help from the Royal British Legion, 1st The Queens Dragoon Guards and the Army Benevolent fund. The Soldiers, Sailors Airmen and Families Association (SSAFA) Forces Help did all the leg work and form filling for me. I have covered nearly 10000 miles in that time, quite possibly the most used mobility scooter in Britain.

I never set a target amount as I'm grateful for every penny and I'm pretty sure the charities are, I have two reasons:

1. If I don't reach the target I'll be upset.
2. If I reach the target people may think they don't need to donate anymore.

This Great Man is actually walking the whole Coastal Path of Great Britain, and not driving its roads in a comfortable Morgan Car as I did. 

He started his journey from Blackpool over 500 days ago and spends his nights sleeping in sheds and garages or any other dry place he can find.

He is fund raising for Help for Heroes and has so far collected a phenomenal £121160.00

 

Hello and Welcome from Walking the Whole British Coastline 


On the 8th of the 8th 2012 I am embarking on a journey which will either kill me or make me. 

I am going to walk the whole coastline of Britain non stop, which is approx a 6500 mile journey, equivalent to walking from John O Groats to Lands End seven and a half times, and will take between 18 months and 2 years to complete, I will be starting in Blackpool and finishing in Blackpool.
Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.

Christian Nock came in for a visit this afternoon when he arrived in Dunoon from Colintraive. Good to see he survived the Kyles hospitality, even if he was knackered and in desperate need of the amber nectar...

Thank you to Bel and Dave. As I was coming into Ardentinny Bel pulled up and asked if I had anywhere to stay tonight, which I hadn't. Bel cooked us tea with a homemade rhubarb pie. I'm now tucked up in their garage listening to the rain bouncing off the roof 

Go On! Support The Man and Support Help for Heroes at the same time.
