Welcome to The HocWalk blog!

​

What is the HocWalk?

The HocWalk is a unique 800+ mile walk from Hockering in Norfolk to Cape Wrath in Scotland.

​

Who is doing the HocWalk?

I am Felicity Meyer and I’m doing the walk with my husband, Richard Funnell.

​

Who are we?

I am a 55+ year old vascular surgeon and Rich is a 60 (!) year old pharmaceutical consultant and we live in Hockering.

​

When is the HocWalk?

The HocWalk starts on 10th July 2022 and should be finished (hopefully) by 30th September 2022.

 

Why a blog?

This blog was started for three reasons:

1. Everyone has asked us why we are doing this walk and I couldn’t give an adequate explanation. The initial background section of the blog is the best vindication I can provide.

2. Friends, family and colleagues have expressed an interest in following our progress.

3. I wanted to record this exciting chapter in our lives.

​

 

How does this blog work?

The blog is written chronologically and is in four parts:

1. Background - an introductory section explaining how the walk came about

2. Preparation  - our preparation story

3. Blog diary - the actual walk itself

4. Extras - an additional documents section containing other supplementary information

The material within this blog is all mine, I am responsible for any errors or omissions and I apologise unreservedly for all of it.
