Seb's Odyssey

Round Britain Walk for Charity

The 3,500 mile payback

PLEASE NOTE: SEB ARRIVED BACK IN WEYMOUTH ON SUNDAY 14th DECEMBER 2008 - CLICK LINK ON LEFT FOR PART TWO OF HIS ODYSSEY

LATE NEWS JUST IN! Seb has changed his mind about auctioning his hat! Sorry Hilary!

One night, when he was just 15 years old, Sebastian Green and a friend took a boat from Weymouth Marina and went for a spin in the Fleet Lagoon behind Chesil Beach. They eventually ran aground and when no-one responded to their shouts for help, Seb leapt over the side to seek assistance - and promptly sank up to his waist in mud. His subsequent rescue involved the coastguard helicopter, an inshore lifeboat and an overnight stay in hospital. He estimates the bill for this teenage prank gone wrong was approximately £20,000. On 1st February 2008, now 18, Seb set out from Weymouth to attempt to walk round Britain in an attempt to raise £20,000 for charity - a sum equivalent to the cost of his rescue. He arrived back on Sunday 14th December 2008 having walked over 3,500 miles and has, to date, raised over £30,000. Job Done. This is his story.
