More like ice skating! An update...

Hello!

Here is the latest news from training and preparations for the walk.

We're gathering more and more support in the form of sponsorship (uk.virginmoneygiving.com/team/walktotnes) and also "donations-in-kind" (all the super people who are offering to help us raise money and awareness).  See the ways you can help for info and ideas about how you can get involved besides sponsoring the walk. This extra support is really vital and we really appreciate all offers of support, no matter how small you think it might be.

A suspected broken toe


Bad news. Alex broke his toe! This has put a dampener on training this week. Let's hope it heals quickly and we can get back into our training regime soon.


Training on ice


Last week, before the broken toe incident (and not related) we went out on a very icy circuit of South-East London.

For most of this walk it felt like ice skates would have been more appropriate than walking boots and there was a bitterly cold wind. This 11-mile route took us past Severndroog Castle (see photo below) and Eltham Palace, around Lewisham and up over Blackheath.

More news soon!  In the meantime, keep up to date with us on Twitter and Facebook
