Mark’s route will take him across the runway and down Devil’s Tower Road, he will then head towards Europa Point on the East side through Dudley Ward Tunnel. He will then walk around Rosia Bay and along Jumpers Bastion before heading down Main Street.

The Royal Gibraltar Regiment Band will join Mark in Main Street at around 11.15 am and play alongside him as he completes his journey. His final destination will be Grand Battery House where there will be a welcome reception.

Mark set off from Cardiff Castle on the 21^st April and has been averaging 30 km a day for over 10 weeks. Mark is raising money for the RG Benevolent Fund and GBC Open Day.
