Beefy's Great British Walk Botham sets off on 12th charity walk October 10, 2008
Explaining the decision to allow people to join him, in return for sponsorship, Botham said: "We found it a bit difficult in the wilds along the A9 collecting from the sheep so this time we can collect money along the route. "In 1985, when I first started walking to raise funds for Leukaemia Research, the survival rate for children with leukaemia was 20%, now the survival rate is 80%." He also gave tips on how to survive long-distance walking. "At the end of each day, I get into the bath, but my feet don't go into the bath. You don't want to soften the skin, my feet stay out of the bath. My feet don't get washed for the whole walk. But they get cleaned with surgical spirit, so they're probably the cleanest bit of me." After Taunton, the walk goes to Windsor, Tunbridge Wells, Bury St Edmunds, Stratford-Upon-Avon, Llandudno, Harrogate and Milngavie (near Glasgow).
