West Sussex Olympian taking on three-part Devon ‘triathlon’ for 65 Degrees North charity
Woppy, wife of Major General Andy Keeling CB CBE - vice-president of 65 Degrees North, will take on a one-mile swim, a 117-mile walk followed by a challenging cliff climb. All this is taking place in Devon over eight days.
First, the mile swim on May 13 will see Woppy set out from Great Mewstone Island to the shore at Wembury beach in south Devon before she takes on the marathon walk along the Two Moors Way which crosses both Dartmoor and Exmoor. The expedition is scheduled to end on May 20th with the climb at Baggy Point on the north Devon coast.
