Ex Tretherras teacher completes his Charity Walk
Ex Tretherras teacher, Steve Dunn has finished his epic walk to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support, walking from his Newquay home back to his childhood home of Torquay via the South West coastal footpath.
After walking over 300 miles, a distance further than if he had walked to London, he was welcomed by his mother at his former family home in Torquay on Saturday.
His 27 day journey started on Bank Holiday Monday 2nd May and progressed through all shades of weather and all types of terrain. He was joined at various legs of the journey by friends, relatives and supporters of his fundraising campaign.
Steve Dunn is a former teacher and taught for many years at Newquay Tretherras Secondary School, retiring as deputy head. He was looking for a novel way of raising money and this seemed a good idea at the time.
Steve has so far raised £1,785 for Macmillan Cancer Support. His JustGiving page has daily updates of his journey along with many pictures taken along the way. https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/steve-dunn5
Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity”.

Tunes in the Dunes
TUNES IN THE DUNES
A brand new festival, set on the beautiful golden sands of Perranporth beach near Newquay, Cornwall. With a back drop of scenic cliffs and sand dunes, this will be a truly unique event where you can enjoy an ice cold beverage with your feet in the sand and the ocean only a stones throw away.
Born from the incredible live music that has been happening at The Watering Hole, the UK’s only venue on a beach and the organisers of Electric Beach festival. This is a first of it’s kind event for Perranporth, not to be missed. The event will take place on the last bank holiday in May.
Major headline acts will be getting announced over the lead up to the event and also the British longboard championships will be taking place in conjunction with Tunes in the Dunes, where some of the UK’s greatest long boarders will be battling it out in the surf.
