Waitress meets man of her dreams while he was hiking UK coast so quits job and joins him

A waitress met the man of her dreams while he was hiking the entire coast of the UK - so quit her job to join him on the epic walk and sleep in tents and garden sheds. Charlotte Brook, 25, had been working in a restaurant in Strachur, Scotland, in May 2019 when a friend introduced her to Daniel McNeil.

Veteran Daniel, 27, had started hiking the entire coast of the UK two months earlier and needed advice from a local on where he could pitch his tent. The pair quickly fell in love and Daniel invited Charlotte to join him on the 16,000-mile trek to raise £100,000 for Armed Forces charity SSAFA - which they are still doing now.

Charlotte, who didn't even own a pair of walking boots, packed in her waitressing job to join Daniel and the couple are now in Portland, Dorset, after two years of walking an average of 18 miles per day. Daniel started his journey in his hometown of Dumfries, Scotland, before picking up Charlotte on the way and its expected to take another year for them to complete the trip.
