In September 2026, Wildman & Bella will be taking on the 630-mile South West Coast Path, travelling from Poole to Minehead and camping along the way.We're documenting the journey, testing our gear in the real world, and sharing the highs, lows, views, weather and plenty of Bella along the way.]{black}
THE CHALLENGE🎯
630 miles. One epic journey.
Starting in Poole and heading west to Minehead, we'll be walking the entire South West Coast Path. With a target of around 50 - 60 days to complete.
WHY WE'RE DOING IT🤷♂️
Bella and I spend a lot of our time outdoors, exploring the countryside and mountains together. Hiking and wild camping have become a huge part of our lives, so taking on the 630-mile South West Coast Path felt like the perfect adventure for us.
We're using the challenge to raise £630 — £1 for every mile — and awareness for Mountain Rescue Search Dogs England, supporting the incredible volunteer dog teams who help search for and rescue people in difficult and often dangerous environments.
We'll be documenting the journey along the way, sharing our experiences and hopefully helping more people discover the amazing work these teams do.

MEET BELLA 🐾
Bella is my 4 year old Belgian Malinois and my four-legged adventure partner. We spend a huge amount of time outdoors together, from mountain days and wild camps to exploring new places.
She's coming with me for the full 630 miles — so expect muddy paws, wet fur, questionable camping decisions and plenty of Bella being Bella along the way.
