We had a great time, although some areas were really quite dark (another reason for bunny ears) and there were puddles, mud, overgrown areas where you were required to walk in the road and all the rest. Still, it was a well-planned route and Marshals every few hundred yards (you could always see one front or behind). We stopped for a pee at a designated stop (local pub, sadly closed in other aspects!) and Mum moaned that this put us at the back of the pack, then moaned that she felt vulnerable if we didn't catch up with the group in front, and that she was being carried along too fast when we did. Overall she was very good though, especially as I know she was hurting by the end.

Back to Aquavale where we were signed out, got a goodie bag (mostly adverts!), a medal and hot chocolate and a croissant or pastry. And another banana. Bleurgh.

And home. Just under £400 between us. A lesson in how kind people are if you ask.
Mum says she can't do it again next year as you can't keep asking people to give you money. I've suggested we work as Marshals. I'm sure they'll allow us to work together, or inside. That way we support the Hospice without having to be supported ourselves. I'll see.

My medal.

Looks like you guys had lots of fun. Congratulations! I knew it would be very dark, that is why I had hoped you received the flashlight before the walk. The dim setting will only light your watch, but the second setting would really light up the road. Perhaps you didn't think of bringing it? If you still haven't received it, please let me know. I really would like to contact the company. It really should reach you by now.

I wonder why you keep on going bleurgh whenever you mention a banana. It's great source of potassium and would help prevent the muscles from cramping up from walking for a distance. Then I remember that you don't like bananas, hehe.

You two raised a great amount. I see nothing wrong with asking for sponsers for a good cause. People will be more than happy to help. Furthermore, how would people which charity to give if you ask?
