Our Journey

In 2015, we completed a journey between Orihuela court and London Royal Court of Justice on foot. 44 marathons in 44 days with the hope of raising awareness of parental child abduction and parental alienation and also, on a very personal level, to show my daughter that I would travel the world for
her.

http://walkacrossborders.blogspot.com/

On that occasion, we raised funds for the Reunite
International Child Abduction Centre Charity

This time, with our cycle, as well as having another attempt at raising awareness of these issues, we hope to help to raise funds for another charity Parental Alienation Awareness (1187738) who aim to raise awareness, educate, & campaign against this form of child abuse that needlessly disconnects children, parents, & their extended families.

This, many of you know, I can directly relate to...

We are hoping to raise £2000 to help with publishing and distribution costs in the production of parental alienation awareness brochures.

www.paawareness.co.uk

The link for donating to this charity is :

https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/tandemacrossborders-paa

I understand the covid situation has caused financial hardship for many.. Charities like this are also finding these times extremely testing.

If you cant help financially, thats ok. But could I ask that you share my JustGiving page link so others can help to support this worthy charity?

Thanks all xx

Some info about Tandem Across Borders

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
Taking into consideration I'm a casual cyclist.. Not by any means an expert.. And getting on a bit in years, Tandem Across Borders - Spain to UK will be a challenge..


I do keep fairly fit but this won't be easy... Its over 2700km in 21 days!!

Those who know me, know how stubborn I am though.. I dont give up on a challenge 😜and I won't be told I can't do it.. It will be an experience..

It will also be fantastic to see and ride with various people en route. Some of these people will be parents affected by parental child abduction / parental alienation.

Travelling through the first week from Orihuela Costa to the French border will be Mike Henstridge ... Thanks Mike 💪.. Also Iamalen Iamalen will be riding with me into London on the final day.

One of the two charities we are supporting on this cycle is the Alice's Escapes Charity

If anyone had unbelievable courage in the most heartbreaking of situations, it was Alice Pyne . She was an absolute inspiration, as are her sister Milly Pyne and mother Vicky Pennington-Pyne

Alice, when she became ill at such a young age, created a bucket list of things she wanted to do in the time she had left.. And she achieved many of them, including setting up the Alice's Escapes Charity ..

THAT is "strength, grit and determination" that our cycle doesn't even come close to!!!!

She never ever gave up .. This is her legacy so we are happy to be able to help in a small way to keep that alive.

PLEASE help me to raise some funds for this charity on the link below


------------------------

The second of the two charities supported is Parental Alienation Awareness

Over the years I have met people through Parental Child Abduction/Parental Alienation groups and organisations who are amazing people.

Many are dedicated, LOVING parents and grandparents who have been completely let down by the family court processes.

Some have suffered mental, financial and physical trauma through their experiences and in a couple of instances I know first hand, they not only felt forced to give up on seeing their children, they tragically gave up on life.... Who is responsible for this?

The children are obviously affected too as they are often affected by the erasing of a parent and family that love them wholeheartedly in the most heinous tactics possible.

It needs people to do something to raise awareness of these issues and not just give sympathy for these situations.

Thankfully, a new charity has been set up in UK, Parental Alienation Awareness who aim do do just that.


Everybody can do something but doing nothing achieves nothing.. Being a bystander achieves nothing other than empowering the failures in the family court system that have lead to the situation many families find themselves in today..

As part of this cycle, THIS is what I wish to raise awareness of..

If you don't understand how bad this is, then you are blessed.. I wish I didn't either...

PLEASE consider donating to either of these two worthy charities.

Im looking forward to meeting up with my several co-riders en route... Really means a lot 💪🏼🚴🏼🚴🏼

Teniendo en cuenta que soy un ciclista casual... De ninguna manera soy un experto... Y envejecer un poco, Tandem Across Borders - Spain to UK será un desafío...




Me mantengo bastante en forma, pero esto no será fácil... Son más de 2700 km en 21 días.

Los que me conocen, saben lo terco que soy... No me rindo ante un desafío 😜 y nadie me dirá que no puedo hacerlo... Será una experiencia...

También será fantástico ver y viajar con varias personas en el camino. Algunas de estas personas serán padres afectados por la sustracción de menores por parte de los padres o la alienación por parte de los padres.

Mike Henstridge viajará durante la primera semana desde Orihuela Costa hasta la frontera con Francia... Gracias Mike 💪... También Iamalen Iamalen viajará conmigo a Londres el último día.

Una de las dos organizaciones benéficas que apoyamos en este ciclo es Alice's Escapes Charity.

Si alguien tuvo un coraje increíble en las situaciones más desgarradoras, esa fue Alice Pyne. Fue una inspiración absoluta, al igual que su hermana Milly Pyne y su madre Vicky Pennington-Pyne.

Alice, cuando se enfermó a una edad tan temprana, creó una lista de cosas que quería hacer en el tiempo que le quedaba... Y logró muchas de ellas, incluida la creación de Alice's Escapes Charity.

Ella nunca se dio por vencida.. Este es su legado, así que estamos felices de poder ayudar de una pequeña manera a mantenerlo vivo.

POR FAVOR, ayúdenme a recaudar fondos para esta organización benéfica en el siguiente enlace


------------------------

La segunda de las dos organizaciones benéficas apoyadas es Parental Alienation Awareness

A lo largo de los años, he conocido personas a través de grupos y organizaciones de Secuestro de menores por parte de los padres/Alienación de los padres que son personas increíbles.

Muchos son padres y abuelos dedicados y AMOROSOS que han sido completamente defraudados por los procesos de la corte de familia.

Algunos han sufrido traumas mentales, financieros y físicos a través de sus experiencias y, en un par de casos que conozco de primera mano, no solo se sintieron obligados a renunciar a ver a sus hijos, sino que trágicamente renunciaron a la vida... ¿Quién es responsable de ¿esta?

Obviamente, los niños también se ven afectados, ya que a menudo se ven afectados por la eliminación de un padre y una familia que los aman de todo corazón en las tácticas más atroces posibles.

Necesita que la gente haga algo para crear conciencia sobre estos temas y no solo simpatizar con estas situaciones.

Afortunadamente, se ha creado una nueva organización benéfica en el Reino Unido, Parental Alienation Awareness, cuyo objetivo es precisamente eso.


Todos pueden hacer algo, pero no hacer nada no logra nada. Ser un espectador no logra nada más que empoderar las fallas en el sistema de tribunales de familia que han llevado a la situación en la que muchas familias se encuentran hoy.

Como parte de este ciclo, ESTO es lo que deseo crear conciencia..

Si no entiendes lo malo que es esto, entonces estás bendecido... Ojalá yo tampoco...

POR FAVOR considere donar a cualquiera de estas dos valiosas organizaciones benéficas.

Tengo muchas ganas de reunirme con mis varios compañeros de viaje en el camino... Realmente significa mucho 💪🏼🚴🏼🚴🏼

Plea for help & support / Súplica de ayuda y apoyo

It is sometimes quite difficult, when trying to organise events like this in aid of charities to get the support needed... (or hoped for)

🇪🇦 A veces es bastante difícil, cuando se trata de organizar eventos como este en ayuda de organizaciones benéficas para obtener el apoyo necesario... (o esperado)




I understand this with all the efforts we have made for Reunite International Child Abduction Centre over the years.

🇪🇦 Entiendo esto con todos los esfuerzos que hemos hecho para Reunite International Child Abduction Center a lo largo de los años.

People sometimes dont realise that even the smallest amount of help like sharing links etc could make a difference and means so much to the people trying to do something for the charities. It not all about donating money.

🇪🇦 A veces, las personas no se dan cuenta de que incluso la ayuda más pequeña, como compartir enlaces, etc., podría marcar la diferencia y significa mucho para las personas que intentan hacer algo por las organizaciones benéficas.  No todo es donar dinero.

I would love to raise the target amounts for these two causes BUT, for me, it is ALSO about raising awareness of issues related to parental alienation and parental child abduction.

🇪🇦 Me encantaría aumentar los montos objetivo para estas dos causas, PERO, para mí, TAMBIÉN se trata de crear conciencia sobre los problemas relacionados con la alienación de los padres y el secuestro de niños por parte de los padres.

I'm still trying to arrange the logistics of the cycle itself.. I have a confirmed co-rider for all of the stages in Spain but at the moment, I will be cycling solo through the French stages which is ok but would rather have co-riders 👍🚴🏼🚴🏼 so I am posting in groups in locations on the route.

🇪🇦 Todavía estoy tratando de organizar la logística del ciclo en sí. Tengo un copiloto confirmado para todas las etapas en España, pero por el momento, estaré pedaleando solo por las etapas francesas, lo cual está bien, pero preferiría tener  compañeros de viaje 👍🚴🏼🚴🏼 así que estoy publicando en grupos en lugares de la ruta.

It is more important to ensure we have a safe place to stay each evening.

🇪🇦 Es más importante asegurarnos de tener un lugar seguro para quedarnos cada noche.

When we first discussed doing this last year, we had support of a family with a small camper who were going to drive to the end points each day but unfortunately, they aren't available this year so it will be tent, hostels, or offers of accomodation at each end stage.

🇪🇦 Cuando discutimos por primera vez hacer esto el año pasado, tuvimos el apoyo de una familia con una pequeña caravana que iba a conducir hasta los puntos finales todos los días, pero desafortunadamente, no están disponibles este año, por lo que serán tiendas de campaña, albergues u ofertas de alojamiento en cada etapa final...

The route for the cycle and details of the charities (plus their JustGiving pages) are shown on the link below.

🇪🇦 La ruta del ciclo y los detalles de las organizaciones benéficas (además de sus páginas de JustGiving) se muestran en el siguiente enlace.


So far we have raised £244 for Alice's Escapes and and £571 for Parental Alienation Awareness ❤️

🇪🇦 Hasta ahora hemos recaudado £244 para Alice's Escapes y £571 para Parental Alienation Awareness ❤️

Thanks to all who have offered support so far and also thanks to Dave at Costa Blanca Bike Hire for the amazing "face lift/upgrade" of our tandem bike ❤️🚴🏼🚴🏼❤️

🇪🇦 Gracias a todos los que han ofrecido su apoyo hasta ahora y también gracias a Dave de Costa Blanca Bike Hire por la increíble "mejora/estiramiento facial" de nuestra bicicleta tándem ❤️🚴🏼🚴🏼❤️

Shani Ormiston - Dancing By The Mistletoe

Check out our amazingly talented friend Shani Ormiston 's 2021 Christmas song "Dancing By The Mistletoe".




Such a catchy tune and fun video which Michelle and I had the pleasure of watching the production of 😍 and helping with in our very small way.. 😁🎅 🎄

Shani has been wonderful support for us with any charity events that we have organised over the years. In particular, support for Reunite International Child Abduction Centre

They worked so hard on this so please play and share the link 👍👍👍

Aleyah's 16th Birthday Video

Here is the video I made for Aleyah's birthday... It shows some of the places I went to on my travels on her 16th birthday (August 25th). It starts and ends message for her... One day closer xxx




Friday, 20 August 2021

Aleyah's 16th birthday on 25th August

 Next Wednesday (25th August) will be my daughter Aleyah's 16th birthday.. 

 


As we have done every year since she was taken 12 years ago, we will be trying to celebrate the day as much as possible and keeping cards and messages from friends and family for her to read when we are reunited which hopefully will be in the near future. 
 
Let me know if you would like a message from YOU kept for her. I will print out each and every message I receive for her but please, if you do, focus on wishes for her and NOT anger on the situation. I want her to read positive wishes! 
 
If you want to leave a video message, then please send to me via email or WhatsApp... I would love to get some video recordings for her.. Especially from family and people that knew her when she was home in Spain..
 
s.monkdalton@gmail.com
0034 622925754
 
We keep all messages etc in a memory chest for her so she will be able to see for herself that she is, and has always been in our minds and in our hearts and that she is missed so much .
We will also, of course, have cake to celebrate her day 🎂😉 and once again I will visit a few places she used to love to go when she was a young child and video those again like I did last year..
 
Thanks Michelle Clark and others who have stood by me, given your support over all these years. It really means so much... xx
 
Parental Child Abduction and Parental Alienation are extremely difficult situations for any target child, parent and family to have to face. 
 
Hopefully, I will be able to finally complete Tandem Across Borders - Spain to UK next year which sadly I had to postpone again due to COVID restrictions...
 
Part of my reason for these events is to try to make this a vehicle to raise awareness of these issues..
 
I just want to thank again my amazing friends and family who I love and appreciate so much. You have helped to keep me strong, and smiling even when I have found some moments very difficult. 
 
Aleyah.... If you read this, please know that not a day has gone by without you in my heart and in my mind and cannot wait for the day we are reunited... Please reach out... I am always here for you... Always have been... Always will be!! 
 
We are one more day closer.. There will be an end to this madness.. Always loving you.. Forever your dad xx

Another plea to my daughter's maternal family

I continue to plea to the maternal family to end this madness. Enough is enough. The tactics to remove Aleyah from her home in Spain (for the 2nd time) were dispicable. Unforgivable..




It allowed you to achieve your objective. To erase Aleyah's paternal family from your life. But in doing that, you are also alienating Aleyah from her paternal family who love her unconditionally.

It is time to move forward and think of our daughter. She is an amazing young lady and has been given opportunities on stage that I probably couldnt have provided but what I would have provided is a loving relationship with both the maternal and paternal families.

I am so proud of her for everything she is achieving and also the way that her teachers say that she is keeping her feet on the ground. I am looking forward to receiving her exam results from school...

As you know, up until this horrific Covid situation, I had visited the school almost every term despite the attempts keep information from me..

One day I am sure you know we will be reunited and that day is naturally becoming closer... She is 16 this month..

Aleyah is on my mind every single day and she does not deserve to be deceived in the way she has been.

Changing her name on stage, lies, deception, alienation, false allegations etc will never take away the fact that I am her father and I will always look out for her in any way I can.

You know this is the right thing to do even if you would never admit to the tactics you have used. It is time to move forward and allow her to have her father and paternal family in her life.

My details are:

Update - June 5th, 2021

Firstly, I apologise for being so quiet on this page for the past few weeks. As you know, this dreadful Covid situation still continues to give us uncertainty so I did not feel that I could advertise the cycle while I cannot give an answer to whether I would need to delay until a later date. Sadly, it is becoming more apparent that this might be the case.




However, at the moment, I am STILL planning as if this is going ahead on schedule but I will make a decision after we hear what the situation is towards the end of June.

I have made some contingency plans should the situation be no clearer after this date.

1) Postpone the Tandem Across Borders event until 2022

2) Reroute Tandem Across Borders to be a circuit of Spain. I dont feel comfortable about this as
a) It wont be going "Across Borders"
b) The two supported charities are British charities and, of course, this is Spain...

3) Postpone Tandem Across Borders until 2022 BUT ALSO do a separate event for a SPANISH charity this year as a circuit around Spain (over 3,000km) on the dates I am currently scheduled to do Tandem Across Borders

At the moment, I am unsure; but should it continue to be unwise to travel across international borders (or too difficult due to vaccine/quarantine etc), plan 3 seems to be the most likely option....

However, I please ask that you continue to support the two supported charities for Tandem Across Borders - Spain to UK as the cycle WILL happen... I just cant confirm when as we all need to be sensible in these very testing times..

Details of Day 21 of 21 - Harlow to Peacehaven via Royal Court of Justice

Day 21 of 21 of Tandem Across Borders on 9th September 2022... If all goes to plan, this is OUR LAST DAY...

We will start the day in Harlow and will cycle to the Royal Court of Justice in London where we will stop for a couple of hours to hopefully meet up with friends and supporters of the two charities we are trying to raise funds for.

Our stop at the court is part of the awareness campaign against parental alienation, parental child abduction and the abuse of the family court systems.

For me personally, this resulted in my daughter being separated from her paternal family for over a decade and, sadly also, permanently stopping her from seeing her paternal grandmother who passed away shortly after Walk Across Borders  in 2015.

Outside RCJ after 1750km walk in 2015

This is not quite the end of our journey though as we are still going to cycle to Croydon, Earlswood, Crawley, Brighton and complete our journey at Peacehaven.

Hopefully I will meet up with Michelle at this point to complete the journey.
