Derwentwater Walk

raises £2,500

 

Well, our first joint sponsored walk with AYME, went off very well. We had 45 walkers, including our very own Jennifer and Joy from the office (unfortunately, my ankle was not up to it!). Even though it was a dull day, the rain kept off.

People had travelled the length and breadth of the country to come and walk for us. We had walkers from as far a way as Devon and London and others from just along the road! Some people sped off into the distance and completed the 9 mile walk in no time – whereas others, no names mentioned, whiled their time away in a cosy little tea shop a couple of miles from the end!!!


In the evening, many of our walkers met up with the Coast to Coast cyclists for a buffet and a good old fashioned “sing a long” . Hadn't realised how talented some of our members were……

Over £2500 was raised to share between ourselves and AYME.
The event proved to be so successful and due to the feedback received, there will definitely be another one in 2005. Sheila x
