    Three months after setting off from Land's End on an epic journey on foot, Harriet has made it to John O'Groats.

    Her D Tour for Dementia Adventure has taken Harriet through England, parts of Wales and now the very tip of the North East of mainland Scotland.

    This week she's reflecting on that journey, the people she met, the friends she's made and the recurring themes of the past 90 days.

    Nov 1 2024

    Harriet shares her thoughts on the challenges she's faced walking 900 (plus!) miles from Land's End to John O'Groats.

    She's dealing with busy roads and a storm as well as crumbling cliff edges. And this has got her to thinking how dementia really is one of life's ultimate challenges.

    You'll hear from dementia campaigner Nancy McAdam and her daughter Fiona about how they've adapted since Nancy was diagnosed over 20 years ago.

    But support is out there as Harriet discovers with Wendy Simmons from Connecting Communities and Christina Collison who set up digital resource Dementia Help
