The "Blood Sweat and Cures" walk in the Derbyshire Dales took place last weekend and was a great success. We were incredibly fortunate with the weather, two beautiful days, sunshine, no rain and a light breeze, wonderful. There were about 22 people walking on Saturday and 14 on Sunday. The overall distance was about 23 miles. I managed about 5 miles a day which I feel very smug about! - got some aching calf muscles to prove it.
As well as local friends we had friends and family from London, Bath and Shrewsbury. So far we have raised over £1,400 for the "Nottingham Leukaemia Appeal". A big thank you to everyone who took part, to everyone who contributed to the NLA, to Nigel and Richard for driving support and to Mike, Lucy and Karine for organising it all. The JustGiving site will stay open till about 29th September.
Karine has put some of the photographs on her Facebook page. Here are a few 'before and after' group shots.
- Saturday:- Great Longstone to Birchover via Chatsworth
- Sunday:- Birchover to Great Longstone via Robin Hood's Stride and Lathkill Dale
Lou Read "Transformer" track 3 though I could equally have chosen 'A Walk on the Wild Side' from the same album
