I attempted to do a roller blading marathon a couple of years

ago but only achieved a half. Turns out, roller blades really do

your ankles in after a few miles! Who knew!?

​

But there's a lot of good feedback about Plading and I

wanted to find a way to raise awareness about litter in general while getting people to litter pick too.

​

So this is how PLADE WITH ME has come about!

​

I'm going to (attempt to) do more than a marathon on skates at Castle Combe Circuit in Chippenham at the Annual South Coast Roll on the 7th October this year!

​

Each lap of Castle Combe is 1.85 miles and I am going to do 15 of them, making 27.75 miles. More than Marathon (just).

​

But I'm not looking to raise money, I'm hoping to raise LITTER! I will skate and you pick and together we will PLADE!

​

I should stress, I'm not physically fit, I'm very lazy, I have never even run a marathon before, this is going to be VERY tough on my legs. Like, not being able to stand the next day sort of tough.

​

I would love it, if for every lap I do, you pledge to pick up however many bits of litter and help clean up our planet!

​

Every bit of litter you pledge to pick up, will spur me on to do these laps, because I feel tired already just thinking about them!
