A member of Cotehele Lodge has been walking from Land’s End to Calstock to raise money for charity.  

Neythen Woolford, from St Ann’s Chapel, has been walking roughly 89 miles this week. 

He has been doing the challenge with the support of others who live within the Calstock parish – Sam Ridsdill, Seakhon Ridsill, Chris Southcott, Charles Southcott, William Southcott, Paul Read, Cameron Raphael, Mark Cliff, Sean Cannon and Phil Venning.   

Some members of the group were also walking, some were providing assistance along the route and others have helped set up the walk. 

The group decided to take on the challenge to help give something back to their community. 

“I am the charity steward and chair at Cotehele Lodge of Freemasons in Calstock,” Neythen explained. 

“We are passionate about giving back and helping the community in any way we can. I like to give back when I can. I can’t do a lot, but I can always give a bit of time to give back. 

“Taking on the challenge is something I have thought about doing and decided I could couple this with supporting two deserving charities. I hope to promote the positive work freemasons do.” 

The walk is all in aid of raising money for Teddies for Loving Care and Mind Cornwall. 

Neythen said: “I feel that these are both important charities. I think mental health is never really spoken about enough, and I think everyone can benefit from their support at any stage of their life. 

“Also I’ve got a 14-month-old daughter, and the fact that my daughter could benefit from TLC is excellent.”
