FROG ON THE WATER: HOMEWARD BOUND - Raising money for The Pituitary Foundation

FROG ON THE WATER: HOMEWARD BOUND is a walking/performing JustGiving project, raising money for The Pituitary Foundation.

In 2018, Simon ‘The Human’ Woolham had a Pituitary brain tumour removed followed by bouts of PTSD. Coincidentally a year previously Simon’s alter-ego The Frog emerged, and the secretion of frogs is used to help heal PTSD!

Walking/performing as The Frog from the University of Huddersfield (where Simon/The Frog works) to Macclesfield (where Simon/The Frog lives) will take three days and will happen on Friday 26th, Saturday 27th and Sunday 28th September.

The three-day route will be along the Huddersfield Narrow Canal, Peak Forest Canal and Macclesfield Canal.

The rough plan will be:

Day 1. (Friday 26th September) – University of Huddersfield School of Arts and Humanities to Standedge Tunnel and Visitor Centre: Leave University of Huddersfield at 11am (arrival for Standedge Tunnel boat trip at 2pm) - Approx 3hrs of walking

Day 2. (Saturday 27th September) – Marsden/Diggle to Stalybridge - Approx 3hrs of walking, then Stalybridge to Marple Bridge - Approx 3hrs of walking

Day 3. (28th September) – Marple Bridge to Macclesfield - HOMEWARD BOUND! - Approx 5hrs of walking

The project is in partnership with the Canal & River Trust and the University of Huddersfield.
