As pub walks go, Jacquelyn Cook and Dave Christian have set themselves something of a challenge.

They are embarking on their final leg of a 250-mile charity walk as they aim to raise funds to open a micropub and community hub community interest company in their home town, Huddersfield.

Jacquelyn and Dave set off from Ely, Cambridge on April 23, where they had been living for the last three years.

They have walked through Nottinghamshire before travelling through Bolsover. They were in South Yorkshire yesterday (Jul 16).

Jacquelyn Cook and Dave Christian are 'Bimbling Home' walking from Cambridgeshire to Huddersfield , West Yorkshire, to raise funds to open a CIC micro-pub and community hub. They want to create an all inclusive community space. They are pictured here in Bolsover as they pass through various towns and villages along their route.

The final stretch on their ‘Bimbling Home’ walk is from Rotherham, to Barnsley and to Huddersfield and will be done by the end of the month.

They hoped to raise enough funds to secure a building around the Huddersfield area to set up a micro pub non-profit and community hub.

Profits from the commercial aspect of the pub would fund an all-inclusive space, providing services and free activities focusing on supporting mental health, loneliness and well being.

As a creative therapist, Jac intends to use creative arts to support health and well being through music and arts by running workshops and events that are free or easy to access.

These would be paid for from the commercial side of the business. Dave was a chef for 15 years, while Jac has done bar management and event management.

They have both suffered mental health issues in the past, and Jac’s past experience drove her to become a creative therapist.

She found arts, nature and meditation really useful for her own mental health so wanted to share these skills with a wider audience.

Jac wanted to come back to Huddersfield to begin this project as she believes she can make the most impact.

They haven’t secured a venue yet so the walk is hoping to raise enough funds to get the project started while applying for grants and other fundraising projects and pop up events are also planned to fund premises.

She said: “I ideally want a place that the whole community can use, but we need the funds to be able to do that”.

They have set up a website, and a Crowdfunder page can be accessed from there, and they have set up a Facebook page with updates.

There is merchandise to buy in support of the project, with profits going directly into the CIC funds.

They are also offering ‘rewards’ where people can buy things in advance from two pints, to a tote bag or a glass, which will be delivered once the walk is finished.

The entire journey has been walked, carrying their entire backpacks of camping equipment and food supplies.

Jac said: “We aren’t experienced walkers, we’re just learning as we go. When days are tough, I just remember what I’m doing it for.”

Jac said: “The Bimbling Home slogan came about as it is a walk without purpose or haste.”

They have been appealing on social media for people to offer up somewhere to camp their tents between different legs of their walk, and each community has supported their efforts, from free nights at campsites to hosting fundraising events
