A WOMAN from the Isle of Wight has been fighting against lockdown loneliness and bringing Islanders back together on the epic 70-mile coastal path journey. Kim Gratton, 34, has led a group which successfully completed the route after five weeks, culminating on Saturday May 1. Her group, Who’s Coming with Me?, was created last year in an attempt to bring local communities together and discover new parts of the Island together. Kim said: It s much more difficult meeting new people as you get older and I wanted to create a way for people to come together while doing the things they love, whether it s walking, cycling, paddleboarding or cold water swimming.
